Answer 1

Install getid3, but if you only need duration, you can delete all but these modules:

• module.audio.mp3.php
• module.tag.id3v1.php
• module.tag.apetag.php
• module.tag.id3v2.php

Access the duration with code like this:

$getID3 = new getID3;
$ThisFileInfo = $getID3->analyze($pathName);
$len= @$ThisFileInfo['playtime_string']; // playtime in minutes:seconds, formatted string
