View source for Reading MP3 Files

I've made some minor changes to Dan Ellis's [http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/matlab/mp3read.html mp3read.m] file to get it to work on the Planet CCRMA machines. To get [http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/matlab/mp3read.html mp3read.m] to work, you need 2 external binaries, [http://www.ibiblio.org/mp3info/ mp3info] and [http://www.mpg123.de/ mpg123]. The binary for mpg123 is present on the Planet CCRMA machines at /usr/bin/mpg123, but [http://www.ibiblio.org/mp3info/ mp3info] is not. I've compiled the binary and placed it [http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jsundram/shared/mp3info here].

You can grab my modified copy of Dan Ellis's mp3read [http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jsundram/shared/mp3read.m here]. You will need to modify line 96 to point to  the location of mp3info.

In short:
# Grab [http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jsundram/shared/mp3read.m my modified mp3read.m]
# Grab the mp3info binary I compiled [http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jsundram/shared/mp3info mp3info] (or download [http://www.mpg123.de/ the rpm] and install it yourself).
# Make sure that the line 96 of the mp3read.m that you downloaded in step 1 points to the location of the mp3info binary you downloaded in step 2.
# Make sure that mp3read.m is on your Matlab path.
# Use mp3read just like you would use wavread.
