You will need to call a separate process which will output the information you want.

It's a good idea to find an external program to do this task, but could not find any either. And if I'll have to develop it myself, it can be implemented in elisp as well as in any other language. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

My mp3info2 is not yet up to the task (oggs are hard beasts to measure length; the rest should works); the same goes for exiftool. The mplayer incantation in the other message would probably work (although the rest of that message is not very trustworthy). You should also try mediainfo.

If you can show that the rest of my message is in any way wrong I'd *love* to see it. I'm eager for my own project to easily and sanely parse track info (title, artist, album, track number and length) from all of the common formats (mp3 + ID3v1,2,3,4,ogg,etc.). Until I see an actual elisp example that contradicts my direct experience, I'm going with what I've observed.

Possibly look into something like emms-playing-time-enable-display and related functions. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
