Listening to currently playing MP3 using minim

in Programming Questions • 2 years ago

I want to make a basic sketch that just graphs a waveform of the currently playing MP3 in the computer's line out. How do I do this?

I already know how to play a file and use waveform.pde to show the waveform. However, doing this would save me the torment of listening to the same music file over and over.

Thanks!

I have the same situation as you. The easiest way for you to do this is use getLineIn() method. Set your recording device as stereo mix. If your sound card doesn't support stereo mix, another way to do it is get a stereo jack to connect your line out to your line in. Minim should be able to get the sound data that's playing on your iTunes.

Cool, thanks!

I'm just getting started so I don't know much... I don't know if I should learn processing first or play around with minim. I want to make custom vis's.
