File Information
Description

Includes 2 functions to write and read MP3 files. It works like the commands WAVWRITE and WAVREAD.

1.- Just unpack in the toolbox folder under the MATLAB directory.
2.- Set the MATLAB search path to include that folder.

This version was made in MATLAB for WINDOWS only.

Does exactly what it says on the tin! A very useful complement to wavread and wavwrite.

Good aplication. I need more time to evaluation and qualify to.

when i use mp3write ,it say mp3buffer is not too big enough

26 Apr 2006 Andy Clark

Great bit of code! Now I can analyse mp3's in matlab.

14 Jul 2006 Jose Uy

Why does it output 2 columns? Is one column the time index and the other is the amplitude?

18 Sep 2006 famous martin

very very good

06 Oct 2006 per g

2 columns = stero sound? Haven't tried the toolbox, just guessing!+

It seems the search path needs to be w/o blanks for it to work. Also there was one row in mp3write changing the path to a name which didn't work out (row 55: MP3FILE = strcat(pwd,'\',MP3FILE)).
Otherwise, great job.

30 Oct 2006 John Hughes

Suggested code mod for the reader:
Line 42:
[stat,raw_info] = dos(['"',location,'\mpg123','"', ' -w ', tmpfile, ' ', '"',FILE,'"'])

By putting double-quotes around the pathname to mpg123, I've fixed the "can't handle blanks in the path" problem. Presumably a similar fix is needed for mp3write; I'll send it when/if I get there...

31 Oct 2006 John Hughes

Fix for lines 54-70 of mp3write.m:

This allows one to use pathnames with spaces in them.

Note that the who thing fails if you give an ABSOLUTE pathname (like "C:/Matlab-stuff/mySong.mp3"), because the read/write routines expect only relative pathnames. I haven't tried to fix this part.

tmpfile = ['"', strcat(lame,'\temp.wav'), '"'];
MP3FILE = ['"', strcat(pwd,'\',MP3FILE), '"'];
ENCODING = num2str(ENCODING);
switch ENCODING
    case {'1'}
        cmd = ['"', lame,'\lame', '"', ' --quiet', ' ', tmpfile, ' ',MP3FILE];
    case {'2'}
        cmd = ['"',lame,'\lame', '"', ' --quiet', ' -b 128 ', tmpfile, ' ',MP3FILE];
    case {'3'}
        cmd = ['"',lame,'\lame', '"', ' --quiet', ' --abr 112 ', tmpfile, ' ',MP3FILE];
    case {'4'}
        cmd = ['"',lame,'\lame', '"', ' --quiet', ' -f ', tmpfile, ' ',MP3FILE];
    case {'5'}
        cmd = ['"',lame,'\lame', '"',' --quiet', ' -h ', ' -V ', tmpfile, ' ',MP3FILE];
    otherwise
        error('Encoding parameters not suported')
end

remove your site & code from google
your code is pathetic

26 Jan 2007 Michael McGurie

A MEX version of this program would give it a perfect score. Very useful for playing around with sound files.

21 Jun 2007 Luigi Rosa

Very good. In mp3read.m the output variable "out" is unnecessary, probably introduced for debugging.

I'm working in watermarking, but I don't understand clearly. So, I need some examples or Matlab code to simulate. Please help me

Can the MP3READ function be used to detect the frequency, tempo and rhythm of an mp3 file? Where are these values stored for retreval and comparison in the future?

07 Jul 2009 John Adcox

Please fix the pathname issue that John Hughes mentioned earlier. His fix works so you will just need to upload a new file

It worked 4 me its awesome guys :D Congrats to all!!

anyone can help me?

If you have the error in line 48 of the mp3read then there probably is a space in the directory were you put the mp3read.m. For instance between Program and Files. Just put it in a folder without spaces and try again...

06 Dec 2010 Thanh

This code is very good,but i can't run it. Everytime i try to run, Matlab always notifies:
??? Error using ==> wavread at 67
Cannot open file.

??? Error in ==> mp3read at 49
[Y,FS,NBITS] = wavread(tmpfile); % Load the data and delete
temporary file
So please show me what's the problem?

10 Mar 2011 Paulo Emmanuel

same error here

??? Error using ==> wavread at 166

change line 42 in mp3read to

[stat,raw_info] = dos(['"' location,'\mpg123.exe"', ' -w ', tmpfile, ' ', '"',FILE,'"']);

22 Nov 2011 Jacob

To anyone getting the error "??? Error using ==> wavread at 67
Cannot open file.", I was getting the same, but once I moved all of the mpg123, mp3info, and lame files to the same folder as the program that was running them, it worked perfectly.
