MP3InfoConv
"Flocke's MP3 Info & Convert" is a tool to display information about MP3
audio files. To do so, just drag a file from the explorer and drop it on the
text control.
Additionally, correct MP3 files can be converted to WAVE files using the MP3
audio codec by prefixing them with the according RIFF WAVE header. This
process is fast and lossless (no re-encoding) and creates a file of the same
name but with the extension WAV in the same folder as the original file. To
do so, just click the button "convert to wave / res" in the lower right
corner of the window.
Alternatively, the result of this operation can be directly embedded in a
RES resource file. This can also be done by clicking that button.
After conversion, these files can be embedded into projects as resources and
be played directly (without extraction) using the API "PlaySound" function.
To hear what that means, check the box "background sound" in the lower left
corner of the window (and turn your sound on).

Example:
Drop an MP3 file on the program, press the button "Convert to wave / res"
and activate "Convert to RES file". Enter "SOUND" as the name and save your
resource as "sound.res" in your project directory.
Add the resource to your delphi project by adding the following line in the
implementation part of any unit (you may also place it in the main project
source):
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| {$R sound.res}
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you can play the file using:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| PlaySound('SOUND', hInstance, SND_RESOURCE or SND_ASYNC);
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
and you can stop it by calling:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| PlaySound(nil, hInstance, 0);
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delphi versions: 5, 6, 7, and 2005
Sourcecode is not completely finished (work in progress) but works fine.
To compile it you need my component DropFilesTarget - you can get it here:
http://flocke.vssd.de/prog/code/pascal/dft/. You don't need to install it,
just copy the file "DropFilesTarget.pas" into the project directory. |
