Hi,

This is my first post and as you can see, i'm french with poor english.
2 months ago, a friend of mine told me to develop a tool to analyze his audio folder. The goal is simple. Because he archive his cd-Audio with EAC and MPC, with tag and replaygain, he would like to generate a report to check if he had not forgotten some parameters.

So i wrote a mini-tools based on php, getid3 library (thanks to him), and vbs. The result is a windows application but easily portable to other platform.
The purpose is simple, after installing the prog, right click on an audio folder (with mp3/ogg/mpc/ape, eac log file, bmp/gif/jpg, others files) and it generate and display a web html page. This is a standalone application.

Because i'm next week on holidays and after that, i've got lot of projects to do, i give to hydrogenaudio community, all the source and all advice to everyone who wanted to work on this project.
This is only an alpha version and there's a lot of things to do :
- bug correction
- Allow skinning of the generated page,
- better design (only the logo is great but not mine, the guy who created it give it to you)
- Clean the code
- And a lot of others things to do.

But you can test it now and i hope someone would like to work on this project. If you've any question, reply here as soon as possible, in 4 days, i'll go on holidays for 15 days . Bye.

Zoomaudio Installer
Zoomaudio Source Only with little setup builder predefined configuration to make setup
Zoomaudio Sample Page

Tips, there's a small id3 box right to the file name, point your mouse over it a popup for the tag will appear.

Looks great! I am sure many people will find it useful.

The 'zoomaudio.vbs' modules is generating "malicious script" notifications via Norton Antivirus 2003.

Norton script checker is paranoid - it says any script running external programs is malicious.

Yes astralstorm, Norton is a little bit paranoid.

zoomaudio.vbs had only a "WshShell.RegRead" command and 2 "WshShell.run" commands : 1 for launch php.exe to parse my script and 1 to display the generated web page.

Norton cry for that and is blind for things really bad.

no problem rarewolf, you can open and see it in notepad.

Nice tool! But a few notes...

When I select multiple directories, I get the warning that the program may take some time (fair enough) but your process keeps flickering the mousepointer between directories - could you just leave the pointer as 'busy' while all directories are processed?

And if multiple directories are selected, multiple windows are popped up with results for the same single directory ... not good.

Good program though, very useful!

seany

Wow nice program!

Sorry, this tool allow for the moment only one directory at a time.

Ciao..

this looks grand...

btw:
any Chance of mp4 support.

zoomaudio can support (with a little modification) everythings that www.getid3.org can support.

Great thanks to the getid3 developper. I wish that more people support his great work.

Curious... your Sample Page displays fine in Mozilla Firebird 0.6, but when I view my own generated reports in the same browser, I get all sorts of glitches (tables in the wrong place, etc.). IE6 renders both pages without errors. Of course, this is an alpha version, so any bugs that don't wipe my HD clean are forgivable.

Very cool program! Thanks!

When I right-click on a music subdirectory and select ZoomAudio, I receive an error dialog box from Windows Script Host.

Script: C:\Program Files\ZoomAudio\zoomaudio.vbs
Line: 11
Char: 1
Error: A device attached to the system is not functioning
Code: 8007001F
Source:

I'm using this on Windows 98 SE. I installed Windows Script 5.6 and it still fails with the same error. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

@skywaffle, try to read this link
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=fr&lr=&...40pressroom.com

It's probably the problem, hope, that it can help you.

I read and tried the advice found at the link you suggested but it didn't change any of the symptoms.

I tried altering some lines in zoomaudio.vbs and it seems it doesn't like or know what to do with the first character, "r", in line 11, r = WshShell.Run (comrun,0,1)

Is there anything I can do to debug this problem?

to debug, the first things to do is to add some code on vbs like

WScript.Echo comrun to display the variable that cause the error (place it before line 11)
and with the tips mentionned up by google, probably a reboot is necessary.

I placed the line WScript.Echo comrun before line 11 and received the following message in a dialog box.

%comspec% /c""C:\Program Files\ZoomAudio\\php.exe" -q "C:\Program Files\ZoomAudio\\zoomaudio.php" "D:\MP3" "C:\Program Files\ZoomAudio\" > "C:\Program Files\ZoomAudio\\zoomaudio.html""

When I ran the following command in a DOS window, I was able to get the script to run and create an HTML page, php -q zoomaudio.php d:\mp3 > zoomaudio.html

Any ideas?

2 ideas :

In autoexec.bat, try to add this line if it's not present
SET COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM

or replace in the script the %comspec% by command.com

If anyone picks up this great piece of work (thanks Indie!), I'd suggest FLAC support. Sorry if the support is already there, but I couldn't read from the original post.

Ciao...


yes.. this tool/util. is very handy.
i hope this work will continue...

as far as i get.. this would be supported extensions.:

ape
asf
au
avr
bmp
bonk
exe
flac
gif
id3v1
id3v2
iso
jpg
La
lpac
lyrics
matroska
midi
mod
monkey
mp3
mpc
mpeg
nsv
ogg
png
quicktime
rar
real
riff
shorten
swf
voc
vqf
zip
aac

so flack is in there..
but i wonder how to go about adding mp4..
(wavpack should also be implemented..)

where to go for some more spesific info..

btw: what is nsv and avr extensions..

i've got too some feature request for the future developper

- Printer friendly format
- Add some mouse-over help (like id3 box near track title) in advanced help report to explain the different point
- Externalize the parsing variable of eac log file (for log file in language different than english)
- ... , ...

I forgot to mention that i'm not a win programmer nor a php developper. So anyone who's got brain, courage, free time, and some knowledge about programming can enhance this tool

This looks to be a great utility and am trying very hard to figure out why it won't work. I've tried installing it on four different computers, unfortunately all are running Windows 98 SE and they all spit out the same error.

I've been able to run it from the DOS command line successfully and have edited zoomaudio.vbs to get parts of it to run. It appears it is unable to pipe the screen ouput to the html file.

What OS is everyone using to get it to run. Has anyone been successful running it in Windows 98?

i am getting a windows script host error:

----

script: zoomaudio.vbs
line: 11
char: 1
error: a device attached to the system is not functioning

code: 8007001F
source:

----

running windows 98se on a pentium-2 375 MHz with 64 Mb ram

I'm very disappointed to see win98 failed with the vbs script. I've got aproximately 10 friends who have already test this tool, but i think everyone use win2000 or winxp.

I'm unable to test it on win98 now, but i can search a answer to the problem. And surely at the end of my holidays, i test it at work on win98.

See you soon.

I'm not sure but you're probably right. Thanks ! Your reply help me to find this.

http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/...ze/Win95Cmd.exe

It is a "replacement" of command.com that allow to "emulate" the cmd.exe of WinNT family.
Put it in zoomaudio installation path and replace in zoomaudio.vbs %comspec% by win95cmd.exe .

Hope it will resolve the problem for the win98 users.

Cool!!! It works in Windows 98 SE! Great job, Indie!

I had finally figured out it was the command-line length that was causing the error, not redirecting the output.


Excellent program... Have a good vacation...

I decern you the awards of N°1 debugger of zoomaudio if you told to win98 users what to do.
Thanks skywaffle

It would be nice if it could identify more mp3 codecs than lame.

Yes, more mp3 codec identification is a feature already request in www.getid3.org forum.

I've a dream, can Mp3 encoder identification by Feltzkrone help getid3 developper to do this job ?
