# Mp3Info The fastest PHP library to get mp3 tags&meta. [![Latest Stable Version](https://poser.pugx.org/wapmorgan/mp3info/v/stable)](https://packagist.org/packages/wapmorgan/mp3info) [![Total Downloads](https://poser.pugx.org/wapmorgan/mp3info/downloads)](https://packagist.org/packages/wapmorgan/mp3info) [![Latest Unstable Version](https://poser.pugx.org/wapmorgan/mp3info/v/unstable)](https://packagist.org/packages/wapmorgan/mp3info) [![License](https://poser.pugx.org/wapmorgan/mp3info/license)](https://packagist.org/packages/wapmorgan/mp3info) This class extracts information from mpeg/mp3 audio: - Audio information: - Duration - Bit Rate - Sample Rate - Channels mode - Codec and Layer version - Frames count - Audio image (cover) - Audio tags: | tag | id3v1 | id3v2 | |---------|---------|-------| | song | song | TIT2 | | artist | artist | TPE1 | | album | album | TALB | | year | year | TYER | | comment | comment | COMM | | track | track | TRCK | | genre | genre | TCON | # Content 1.

[Technical information](#technical-information) ## Usage After creating an instance of `Mp3Info` with passing filename as the first argument to the constructor, you can retrieve data from object properties (listed below). ```php use wapmorgan\Mp3Info\Mp3Info; // To get basic audio information $audio = new Mp3Info('./audio.mp3'); // If you need parse tags, you should set 2nd argument this way: $audio = new Mp3Info('./audio.mp3', true); ``` And after that access object properties to get audio information: ```php echo 'Audio duration: '.floor($audio->duration / 60).' min '.floor($audio->duration % 60).' sec'.PHP_EOL; echo 'Audio bitrate: '.($audio->bitRate / 1000).' kb/s'.PHP_EOL; // and so on ... ``` To access id3v1 tags use `$tags1` property. To access id3v2 tags use `$tags2` property. Also, you can use combined list of tags `$tags`, where id3v2 and id3v1 tags united with id3v1 keys. ```php // simple id3v1 tags echo 'Song '.$audio->tags1['song'].' from '.$audio->tags1['artist'].PHP_EOL; // specific id3v2 tags echo 'Song '.$audio->tags2['TIT2'].' from '.$audio->tags2['TPE1'].PHP_EOL; // combined tags (simplies way to get as more information as possible) echo 'Song '.$audio->tags['song'].' from '.$audio->tags['artist'].PHP_EOL; ``` ## Performance * Typically it parses one mp3-file with size around 6-7 mb in less than 0.001 sec. * List of 112 files with constant & variable bitRate with total duration 5:22:28 are parsed in 1.76 sec. *getId3* library against exactly the same mp3 list works for 8x-10x slower - 9.9 sec. * If you want, there's a very easy way to compare. Just install `nass600/get-id3` package and run console scanner against any folder with audios. It will print time that Mp3Info spent and that getId3. ## Console scanner To test Mp3Info you can use built-in script that scans dirs and analyzes all mp3-files inside them. To launch script against current folder: ```bash php bin/scan ./ ``` ## API ### Audio information | Property | Description | Values | |--------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | `$codecVersion` | MPEG codec version | 1 or 2 | | `$layerVersion` | Audio layer version | 1 or 2 or 3 | | `$audioSize` | Audio size in bytes. Note that this value is NOT equals file size. | *int* | | `$duration` | Audio duration in seconds.microseconds | like 3603.0171428571 (means 1 hour and 3 sec) | | `$bitRate` | Audio bit rate in bps | like 128000 (means 128kb/s) | | `$sampleRate` | Audio sample rate in Hz | like 44100 (means 44.1KHz) | | `$isVbr` | Contains `true` if audio has variable bit rate | *boolean* | | `$hasCover` | Contains `true` if audio has a bundled image | *boolean* | | `$channel` | Channel mode | `'stereo'` or `'dual_mono'` or `'joint_stereo'` or `'mono'` | | `$tags1` | Audio tags ver. 1 (aka id3v1). | ["song" => "Song name", "year" => 2009] | | `$tags2` | Audio tags ver. 2 (aka id3v2), only text ones. | ["TIT2" => "Long song name", ...] | | `$tags` | Combined audio tags (from id3v1 & id3v2). Keys as in tags1. | ["song" => "Long song name", "year" => 2009, ...] | | `$coverProperties` | Information about a bundled with audio image. | ["mime_type" => "image/jpeg", "picture_type" => 1, ...] | | `$_parsingTime` | Contains time spent to read&extract audio information in *sec.msec* | | ### Class methods - `$audio = new Mp3Info($filename, $parseTags = false)` Creates new instance of object and initiate parsing. If you need to parse audio tags (id3v1 and id3v2), pass `true` as second argument is. - `$audio->getCover()` Returns raw content of bundled with audio image. - `Mp3Info::isValidAudio($filename)` Static method that checks if file `$filename` looks like a mp3-file. Returns `true` if file looks like a mp3, otherwise false. ### Settings You can adjust some variables to reconfigure before instantiating of object: - `Mp3Info::$headerSeekLimit` - count of bytes to search for the first mpeg header in audio. Default: `2048` (bytes). - `Mp3Info::$framesCountRead` - count of mpeg frames to read before compute audio duration. Default: `2` (frames). ## Technical information Supporting features: * id3v1 * id3v2.3.0, id3v2.4.0 * CBR, Variable Bit Rate (VBR) Used sources: * [mpeg header description](http://mpgedit.org/mpgedit/mpeg_format/mpeghdr.htm) * [id3v2 tag specifications](http://id3.org/Developer%20Information).
