Get the audio duration using libsndfile





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I created an application using libsndfile and wasapi, it allows playing an audio file slowly and manually with the cursor using QSlider.



I see that libsndfile uses frames, I want to know how to get the duration of this audio file but I can not find it in the documentation of libsndfile and play parts of the audio file using ms.



I managed to make it work with the frames but I want to understand how to do it with the milliseconds.

          The objects libsndfile creates have a frames() method that gives you this information. samplerate() gives you the sampling rate, so then the duration is:



          static_cast<double>(frames())/samplerate()

          • Thank you for your answer, so if it returns 0.834, that means 834 ms, right?

          • yes, exactly. Samplerate is samples per sec, frames are samples, so you get an answer in seconds.
