Length of MP3 File

[TheVig]

Is there any way to grab the duration of MP3 files?

str s="Q:\mp3\x.mp3"

typelib WMPLib {6BF52A50-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6} 1.0
WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer w._create
WMPLib.IWMPMedia m=w.newMedia(s)
out m.duration ;;seconds
out m.durationString

I tested on a MP3 and I get 0 and 0:00 in the output.

I'll try on some other MP3 files.

Thanks.

If the file does not exist, the function does not throw error but length is 0.
The path must not contain $special folder$.

Geeze...I didn't even think of that!

how do you toggle back to full file name...?
