MPEG File Frame parser

A simple streaming parser for parsing out mpeg audio frame metadata, such as bitrate, sample rate, etc

Install

npm install mpeg-frame-parser

Use

The parser is simply a stream in objectMode, so you can pipe and binary data into it and it will spit out frame objects.

var Frames = require('mpeg-frame-parser')
  , stream = require('fs').createReadStream('./my-audio.mp3')

var parser = stream.pipe(new Frames());

parser.on('data', function(frame){
    console.log(frame.bitRate)  // => 128000
})

Frame Object

frame objects contain the following keys:

frame = {
    bitrate     => 12800 1600 etc
    padding     => 1
    sampleRate  => 44100 48000 etc
    mode        => Mono Stereo Joint Dual
    channels    => 1 or 2
    size        => int bytes
    version     => 1 2 2.5
    layer       => 1 2
}

use in conjunction with my ID3v1 parser and ID3v2 parser for more data.
