Total track length in Miliseconds

[jmoschetti45]

When I send winamp A WM_USER # 105 Data 1 I get the current song length in seconds. Is there a way to get it in miliseconds because when I multiply the seconds I end Up with the Seconds + 3 zeros. Winamp would need to directly send back the miliseconds. Is this a problem for winamp to do or can it not do that because of some other problem.

i don't think mp3 has milliseconds, it's just seconds.

[jmoschetti45]

It does because some other media player (BPM Studio) I use displays it And even in frames!

Could be that the plugin is reading the MP3 file directly. I suppose you could do this too, but offhand I don't know of any API's to read MP3 files directly.

I have triyed that but it causes more problems than it fixes. Some how winamp gets the total in miliseconds because somw visualizations show it. I have looked att the vis sdk but that didn't help.

105 If data is 0, returns the position in milliseconds of playback. If data is 1, returns current track length in seconds. Returns -1 if not playing or if an error occurs.

Do I need to say more? Winamp does return length in miliseconds but data needs to be 0 instead of 1. :)

Nice but that dosen't help at all. If you send 0 as data you get the CURRENT Track Position in miliseconds not the TOTAl TIME!

Okay, I'm sorry. I misread that. :-S

No problem. But I still need to figure out how to do that.:)

Its easy, just get the max seconds of the track then convert that to milliseconds by adding three 0's at the end, for example this is what i used to createa slider that got the position of the track and adjusted the range accordingly.

Hope it helps :)

int Slide;
int Pos;
CString conv;

Slide = ::SendMessage(Winamp, WM_USER, 1, 105);
conv.Format("%d000", Slide);
Slide = atoi(conv);
m_Slider.SetRange(0, Slide);
Pos = m_Slider.GetPos();
::SendMessage(Winamp, WM_USER, Pos, 106);

Converting to a string adding 000 then doing an atoi? :)

How about just *1000? :) pretty simple maths man.

lol, i figured Slide = (Slide+000) would work but i dont think it did, so i just did it that way.
