if you just need to determine if the sound is playing or not there's a command for that
Quote: "GetSoundInstancePlaying( iID )"
otherwise you can get the duration by first turning the sound into a memblock
Quote: "CreateMemblockFromSound( soundID )"
then work out the duration from the info in the memblock file
Quote: "The duration of the sound can be calculated with the following formula, numFrames/samplesPerSecond"
full info in the help docs
Quote: "Creates a memblock from a loaded sound file. The sound file must have been loaded with LoadSound and is unaffected by this command. The first 2 bytes of the memlbock store the number of channels (1 or 2 supported), the next 2 bytes store the bits per sample (8 or 16 supported), the next 4 bytes store the samples per second, for example 44100. The next 4 bytes are the number of frames in the sound data, the size of the sound data in bytes can be calculated from this with the formula numFrames*(bitsPerSample/8)*channels. In a 2 channel sound a frame contains 2 samples, one for each channel. In a mono sound a frame contains 1 sample. The rest of the memblock is raw sound data, for example in an 8bit stereo sound with 3 frames the raw data would look like this. byte offset 0 = Frame 1, left channel data byte offset 1 = Frame 1, right channel data byte offset 2 = Frame 2, left channel data byte offset 3 = Frame 2, right channel data byte offset 4 = Frame 3, left channel data byte offset 5 = Frame 3, right channel data The duration of the sound can be calculated with the following formula, numFrames/samplesPerSecond. This command does not work with sound instance IDs, only sound file IDs. Returns an ID that can be used to reference this memblock in other commands"
