Hi,

Maybe some one already has some code to read mp3 header info.

I was trying to use some dll but it crashes.

The structure in which i receive the info has some string * 20, etc.
And if i try to make the PB structure with .b[20] when i run it it crashes.

The german comments are not mine, was on the original VB code:

Code: Select all

Structure mpgstruct
    ValidHeader .w  ; 0=ungÃ¼ltiger Header, 1=gÃ¼ltiger Header
    MpegID .w       ; 0=reserviert, 1=MPEG 1.0, 2=MPEG 2.0, 3=MPEG 2.5
    Layer .w        ; 0=unbekannt, 1=Layer 1, 2=Layer 2, 3=Layer 3
    CRC .w          ; 0=nein, 1=ja
    Bitrate .w      ; 0=reserviert, >0=Bitrate in kbit/s
    Samplerate .l      ; Samplerate in Hz
    Padding .w      ; 0=nein, 1=ja
    Private .w      ; 0=nein, 1=ja
    Stereomode .w   ; 0=Stereo, 1=Joint Stereo, 2=Zweikanal, 3=Mono
    ExtendedMode .w ; Werte von 0-3
    Copyright .w    ; 0=nein, 1=ja
    Original .w     ; 0=nein, 1=ja
    Emphasis .w     ; 0=keine, 1=50/15ms, 2=unbekannt, 3=CCITT j.17
    Duration .l        ; Gesamtspielzeit in Sekunden z.B. 210 Sekunden
    Minutes .w      ; Spielzeit in Minuten        z.B.   3 Minuten
    Seconds .w      ; Spielzeit in Sekunden       z.B.  30 Sekunden
    HeaderPos .l       ; Anfangsposition des Headers
    Framelength .l     ; FramelÃ¤nge
    FrameCount .l      ; Anzahl Frames
    FileSize .l        ; FilelÃ¤nge in Bytes
    VBR .w          ; 0=kein VBR, 1=VBR (variable Bitrate z.B.Xing)
    ID3V1Header .w  ; 0=kein Header, 1=ID3V1.0 Header, 2=ID3V1.1 Header
    ID3V2Header .w  ; 0=kein ID3V2 Header, 1=ID3V2 Header vorhanden
    ID3V2Pos .l        ; Anfangsposition des ID3v2-Headers
    Lyrics .w       ; 0=kein Lyrics3-Tag, 1=Lyrics3 Vers.1.0 vorhanden, 2=Lyrics3 Vers.2.0 vorhanden
    LyricsPos .l       ; Anfangsposition des Lyrics3-Tag (zeigt auf "LYRICSBEGIN")
    ; Nun kommen die ID3v1 Informationen mit Space aufgefÃ¼llt!
    ; eventuell gelesene Null-Byte-Zeichen ( CHR$(0) ) wurden durch Space ersetzt!
    Title .b[30]   ; Titel
    Artist .b[30]   ; Interpret
    Album .b[30]    ; Album
    Year .b[4]     ; Jahr
    Comment .b[30]  ; Kommentar
    Genre .b[30]    ; Musik-Genre als Text ( unterstÃ¼tzt Winamp-Genres)
    GenreID .w      ; Genre-Index, -1 = kein Genre, 0 - 148
    TrackNr .w      ; Track-Nr ( nur bei ID3V1.1 )

EndStructure

mpg.mpgstruct

File$ = "c:\windows\escritorio\PoliceCorto.mp3"

If OpenLibrary(0, "MP3reader.dll") 
   *F = IsFunction(0, "Mp3FileInfo")
  If *F
    If CallFunctionFast(*F,File$,@mpg)
      MessageRequester("Info",Str(mpg/Bitrate),0)
    Else
      MessageRequester("FAIL","",0)
    EndIf
  EndIf
  CloseLibrary(0)
EndIf
End

I try to substitute the .b[20] just by a string but crashes too.

The dll could be found at http://www.toengi.de

I've read in the manual that you must use .s[20], not .b[20], why don't give it a try?

.s[20] would store 20 Pointers to 20 different Strings in the Structure. Do you think that this is right?
I don't think, a MP3 can have 20 Titles

.b[20] should be right. There must be some other reason for it to crash.

Hi,

maybe this thread from the german forum helps you. Although it is in german the code-bits could be helpful for you.

You talk about .b[20] when everywhere in the structure the code says .b[30] which is right? And could you post the VB structure so we can verify that the translation to PB is correct?

shouldn't mpg/Bitrate be mpg\Bitrate?

Yes the / was wrong but it was a typo here in the forum, dosent make difference: crash anyway.

I said [20] just to show what im trying to do.

The VB code needed to run the dll is so simple:

Code: Select all

 ' Die Declaration des DLL-Aufrufes (Pfad evtl anpassen!)
Declare Sub Mp3FileInfo Lib "MP3READER.DLL" (ByVal FileName$, lpmpg As mpgstruct)

Mp3FileInfo Datei, mpg

But in fact i will try better to read it directly from the file

The header is this one:

Structure MpgHeader
FrameSync.b[11]
AudioVersion.b[2]
MpegLayer.b[2]
Protection.b
BitRate.b[4]
SampleRate.b[2]
Padding.b
PrivateBit.b
Channels.b[2]
Mode.b[2]
Copyright.b
Original.b
Emphasis.b[2]
EndStructure

How is the best way to read it?

Code: Select all

If ReadFile(0,File$)
  If AllocateMemory(0,32)
      MemPointer=UseMemory(0)
      FileSeek(140)
      ReadData(MemPointer, 32)      
  EndIf
CloseFile(0)
EndIf

and then trying to peek every one?

BitRate.l = Val(PeekS(MemPointer + 16,4))

Or trying to read it in the structure?

One note: Not always the first byte of the file is the first file of a header, usually there are 100 or more bytes with only ceros, then we have to find the start of the file and then read the header. I say this because if someone want to try at home could get only ceros if read at the start of the file.

Is there some ASM code to achieve this very fast?
