hi, i need to somehow merge 2 mp3 files into 1, so that the output file has the sounds of the two input files playing simultaneously.

i need a script that does this automatically after i upload my two files. any ideas for this semi-impossibility, guys&gals?

I'm sure it's possible as can play two mp3 on my PC and record they as I play. But how you go about that automatically I have no idea.

No need to merge 2 mp3 files if you only need to play them continuously. Just create .m3u.
example : playlist.m3u
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:2, media music 11 - Danger Zone.mp3, 2007
/media/music/11 - Danger Zone.mp3
#EXTINF:1, media music Alanis Morissette - Hand In My Pocket.mp3, 2007
/media/music/Alanis Morissette - Hand In My Pocket.mp3

and call using embed <EMBED src="playlist.m3u" autostart=true hidden=true>

Good luck

thanks sastro,

what i need to do though, is have a single downloadable mp3 file which sounds like it's simultaneously playing the two original files. any ideas?

get hold of a free audio mixer (there are trial ones out there. Add the two MP3's as tracks, and record the output. That should do it.

that script joins one mp3 file on the end of another, whereas i need the two to be blended as if played simultaneously.

any more ideas would be much appreciated

I hear what you are saying but not sure what you want ?

You say you want to 'automate it' but HOW? WHY? HOW? WHERE are the MP3's going to come from how are they going to be selected, what is the outcome etc? I think that we need more information as we don't know what you are trying to do.

You say you want a script but what is the point when it can be done manually, do you see what I am saying?

Tell us what you are trying to achieve and maybe we can help better, because so far you are saying you want to merge 2 MP3's, but I have a feeling that you do NOT want to merge '2 MP3's' you actually want a script that will take two MP3 tracks and merge them, as in you might have lots of tracks you want merging etc not just 2. I STILL do not have a clue what you are asking though as you have already been given the solution and keep asking about a script. WHERE is the script going to get these 2 MP3' files from?

Tell us more

I want to be able to click a button on a website which tells the site to create the new mp3 file.


just some idea by a client of a partner


i'll store them on the web server


ideally within a php script. willing to experiment with asp and other languages though


one mp3 file which when played, sounds like the 2 original files being played simultaneously.


so that the website users don't have to do it manually


if i can get it working with 2 then i'll be a happy bunny

any more tips?

So what you are saying is that you want a database of MP3 files, an interface where the user can select 2 from the list and then the ability to merge them into a single file that can then be created and downloaded?

A bit like my 'give yourself an alibi' site, whereby you can record your voice for an answerphone over the top of a noisy train station or hotel reception etc

I can't code ;0 but now people know what you want I am sure you will get the help you need .

but is it true that you have a site which currently performs this function? do you own this site? maybe you can share the code with me?

YES

Yes



Not a chance sorry, like I said, I can't code, so short of giving away a complete site (which I had coded especially for myself), it is not possible. The facility is builtinto a site as a feature, so as much as I am happy to help out on forums, giving away copywrighted code is not going to happen . Sorry.

Like I said, now you have it clear what you want you can possibly get some help here, or (more likely) get a freelancer to code it up for you. We are not talking about a couple of lines of code here, I hope you realise that. We are talking about a front end, a back end and database integration etc. It is not a couple of lines of code
