MP3 Sound level detection
-
Hi, I want to write an app in VB.net that will go through lots of MP3 files and (quickly) detect the average sound level within the files, notifying someone should they be below a threshold. I'm sure this must be possible using the .net framework, but would probably take me a week to code. For this reason, I'm quite happy to use a com component. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Regards Graham

No need to work a week ;P Just use my nBASS[^] lib, load each file in decode only mode and check the level. Now that is the easy (but ugly) way. Ideally you should write a DSP similar to a normalization DSP. There was questions about detecting silence on the BASS forums a while back that mite be usefull. All in all, either way, it wont be quick. I rated this article 2 by mistake. It deserves more. I wanted to get to the second page... - vjedlicka 3:33 25 Nov '02
