I'm not sure that supports your argument > much well, my usage of that tool is simply to get the duration from files with a PHP script indexing my music archive, that call is unchanged the last 7 years and so i continue to refuse the benefit of throw a package out of the distribution because there is no new upstream release $handle = popen($GLOBALS['music_bin_mp3info'] .
