Conversion Test

Try to execute this command, if you found a file named test.ogg, then you're brainy ! it works :)

 ffmpeg -i http://cdn-preview-a.deezer.com/stream/a4e149e52e2ffdc4f057661b40ba7ee3-1.mp3 -f ogg -strict experimental -acodec vorbis -ab 192k test.ogg

How to use ?

• Get a deezer track id from Deezer API - you can also use this wrapper for a quick start Deezer-API-PHP-Wrapper

• Call the function getSample($track_id) or use dzpreview::getPreview($track_id) (The function calls Deezer API to get the audio preview url and directly convert it into ogg format. The ogg file will be stored in a stream folder)

• getSample or dzpreview::getPreview($track_id) return the path of the ogg file.

Example code

 <?php
 
 require 'class.dzpreview.php';
 
 $track_id = '12214510';
 $baseurl  = 'http://myserver.com/';
 
 $path = dzpreview::getPreview($track_id);
 
 echo $baseurl.$path;
 //return : http://myserver.com/stream/a/1/a1e6de2ec7f4e0dd35f2523334915ba5-1.ogg
 
 ?>
