Bug during mp3 write from the temp file about pydub HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks Damien,

Can you tell me a little more about the problem you were having and how you came to this solution? line 262 is not the only use of a NamedTemporaryFile(…) so I just want to make sure this change isn't needed elsewhere as well.

hi,
I've just tried your module and I've got no error but the export mp3 has
been not created properly (tiny bad mp3 file).

I found out that temporary MP3 file was good but when you read it and copy
it to the MP3 "out_f" file => out_f.write (output.read()) <= it seems that
the reader stop after a zero-byte string...

I know, It's weird that I'm the only one with this malfunction...
But I wonder why the "output" file is the only file open as not binary
file...

I used v2.7 of python under pydev+eclipse env. (win7).

hope it helps,

hi again James,
Probably with windows you have to open as binary the mp3 file:
I read:
"On Windows, 'b' appended to the mode opens the file in binary mode, so
there are also modes like 'rb', 'wb', and 'r+b'. Python on Windows makes a
distinction between text and binary files; the end-of-line characters in
text files are automatically altered slightly when data is read or written.
This behind-the-scenes modification to file data is fine for ASCII text
files, but it’ll corrupt binary data like that in JPEG or EXE files. Be
very careful to use binary mode when reading and writing such files. On
Unix, it doesn’t hurt to append a 'b' to the mode, so you can use it
platform-independently for all binary files."

hope it helps,

@python4d would you mind running from the latest rev in github to confirm that this fixes your issue? (and as an aside would you mind letting me know if you're able to export a file as mp3?)

I've tested your new build and it works like a charm :-)
thanks!
