Determining Exact length of audio track

[ritmo2k]

OK, smack me! WTF do I use to determine the EXACT length of an mp3 audio track?

Thanks,

Hi,

There are some mp3 bitrate calculators in the doom9 download section, never used them tho so i am unsure of their reliability...

I'm not having a go at anybody at all here :).... but i find it wierd that a lot of ppl ask this question - i mean, presumably ur going to end up encoding the audio anyhows, so why not do it first and know the exact size ??

Or am i missing something...

Bye. :)

For 128kbit mp3 CBR -> "Final Filesize" is around "Source Files" devided by 10 or 11.

Don`t know the other bitrate ratios :p

Well, I am writing a cue sheet, thats why!
I needed to cut it off somewhere, it was just a PITA what I ended up to have to do, but thanks!

If its a CBR MP3 its easy, open it in Mediaplayer and it will tell you the running length. If its a VBR MP3 i dont know ...

[ritmo2k]

Its cbr, but media player is not accurate enough.
(It doenst give exact running length, ie XX:XX:XX)

open in winamp. click on it in the playlist. hit alt-3. This will give you the exact length in seconds and frames. hope this helps
