Most likely he was trying to avoid reencoding the mp3. Honestly, if you just want to have really simple access like above under FreeBSD (there are some rather fancy tools under Windows that can do this, VirtualDub for instance), you are probably going to have to write it yourself. The good news is that it is pretty easy to do. If your mp3 is CBR, you can even use dd and xxd (or od) to figure out the size of each frame. One time I just cut an mp3 with dd, then opened it up in an hex editor and deleted everyting up to the first magic number (fffb IIRC). -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
