playing mp3 file of size 1mb

[karanala]

Hi,

I want to play mp3 file of size 1mb,Is it possible to load the file and suggest me mp3 codecs and mmf frame work plz?

Shouldn't really be problem, I think the MP3 files are not completely loaded into the memory when played, thus thy memory requirements are a lot less than the file size in this case.

Hi Karanala,

Perhaps a little more detail about what you are trying to do would help?

You can play mp3 files of almost any size. I have played an 80MB podcast file.

As yucca says, mp3 playback only loads a few buffers into memory at any one time so the size of the file doesn't affect the memory usage.

The actual encoding of the mp3 shouldn't be an issue, you can use almost any popular encoder. I have seen some issues with variable bitrate encodings particularly the later iTunes encoders so I'd avoid that if you don't need to use it.

Hope that helps,
