Testing for quality of audio in MP3'sby Stegalex (Chaplain) |

Stegalex has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Here's a question from a non-engineer - there, I admitted it so please, no flaming replies. Let's say that a person uses Kazaa or another file sharing service to share MP3s. The file sharing service lists the audio sampling rate for each file but this does not have much to do with the quality of the recording. Many of the high bitrate audio files seem damaged. Apparently the RIAA and others have begun sharing intentionally damaged files to thwart intellectual property theft. So, my question is this: which Perl modules (if any) would help me to automatically inspect an MP3 file and determine if it's somehow damaged (blank spots, static, etc)? I know it's not easy to do and that the term "damage" is highly subjective, but is there anything a person can do short of actually listening to these files? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I like chicken.
