As far as I can see, this is because musicmetadata does not try to read Xing headers, and always waits for all frames to be counted for a duration calculation (which is what you should do, when you get a file with no Xing headers). See here (id3v2.js, l. 133-142):
// once we know the file is VBR attach listener to end of
// stream so we can do the duration calculation when we
// have counted all the frames
if (readDuration && frameCount === 4) {
stream.once('end', function () {
callback('duration', calcDuration(frameCount,
header.samples_per_frame, header.sample_rate))
done()
})
}
taglib
, on the other hand, does this. It seems to implement a fairly simple class for these headers (xingheader.cpp, l. 91-115):
void MPEG::XingHeader::parse(const ByteVector &data)
{
// Check to see if a valid Xing header is available.
if(!data.startsWith("Xing") && !data.startsWith("Info"))
return;
// If the XingHeader doesn't contain the number of frames and the total stream
// info it's invalid.
if(!(data[7] & 0x01)) {
debug("MPEG::XingHeader::parse() -- Xing header doesn't contain the total number of frames.");
return;
}
if(!(data[7] & 0x02)) {
debug("MPEG::XingHeader::parse() -- Xing header doesn't contain the total stream size.");
return;
}
d->frames = data.toUInt(8U); // publicly accessible as totalFrames()
d->size = data.toUInt(12U); // publicly accessible as totalSize()
d->valid = true; // publicly accessible as isValid()
}
which is used like this (mpegproperties.cpp, l. 212-225):
// Read the length and the bitrate from the Xing header.
if(d->xingHeader->isValid() &&
firstHeader.sampleRate() > 0 &&
d->xingHeader->totalFrames() > 0)
{
double timePerFrame =
double(firstHeader.samplesPerFrame()) / firstHeader.sampleRate();
double length = timePerFrame * d->xingHeader->totalFrames();
d->length = int(length);
d->bitrate = d->length > 0 ? (int)(d->xingHeader->totalSize() * 8 / length / 1000) : 0;
}
This doesn't look too hard to implement to me, but I haven't read deep into this library's code and don't feel capable of doing this.
