Currently in my MP3 player (using libmad) I have to scan through an entire mp3 to calculate an accurate playtime and build up a random access seek table.
On the platform I'm using, this can be very slow taking 3 minutes plus for a 35 minute vbr file.
Is there a better way of calculating the length of an mp3 if it isn't in the id3 tag, and/or a better way of jumping to a certain time frame within an mp3 without having scanned the entire thing beforehand?
TIA!
Yours Unwhettedly, Robert John Shepherd.
