mp3 file analysis program
hi everybody,
I am looking for a mp3 file analysis program ( shell preferred / or X ) - something that would give me similar output as >LAME< does during the encoding phase. Quote:

What exactly do you want this for? Finding badly-encoded files, for example? What information do you need it to display?
It may be overkill for you, or not what you want, but I like mp3diags. It can do all kinds of diagnostics on your files and fix many of them automatically. A quick search for installable packages with "mp3" in the name also turned up: checkmp3 mp3check mp3info mp3report mp3val I have no idea if any of them do what you want, however. |
Code:
file music.mp3 Code:
ffmpeg -i music.mp3 Code:
mplayer music.mp3 |
Thanks David,
What i am looking for is to compare encoded mp3's ( 96vbr & 320vbr of the same feed ) and determine minimum "acceptable" bitrate for a specific feed/sound file without listening to every audio file. I need this for h264, portable media ( 300-400MB of h264 ) - so I do not want to end up with 2 hour "spoken/monologue" content encoded at 256kbit and 64kbit encoded classical music. by running EncSpot Pro or re-encoding it via lame, it is possible to tell what lowest bitrate/quality would be "acceptable" for a specific audio file, once determined, encode, mux and it is ready. a shell utility would be perfect since it could be used for batch/automated minimum bitrate discovery. basically an app which detects the characteristics of audio... I tried mp3check, mp3info, MP3Diags, mediainfo and lame Quote:
so far EncSpot pro and its "bit histogram" shows most info I need - runs under wine... still looking for a shell alternative paz |
Thanks teckk,
the output of the ffmpeg -i / mplayer -identify gives not much info on a VBR/ABR file, I am looking for a bit more then average bitrate and sampling rate. and output 'file' ain't cool: Quote:

Sorry then. That's a bit beyond my understanding. The only other suggestion I can think of is possibly sox. It's a general command-line sound-processing program with a lot of features. Perhaps it has something you can use.
