droid17 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi all I need to convert wav files to mp3s. From what I have found so far one way to do it is to have my PHP script call exec to some mp3 encoder on my host's server. I am using a GoDaddy shared Linux account. I am hoping lame is installed, but I don't think it is. Does anyone know of another way to do this or what mp3 encoders GoDaddy's shared hosting supports? II am only on a 1 month goDaddy test run, so if I can't do this does anyone know of a host that can?

droid17 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 I need to have both wav and mp3. The users upload wavs and then they are downloadable. If they want to preview, I need it in mp3 because they are much smaller and load time is much faster Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/187966-wav-to-mp3-godaddy/#findComment-992554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 You'll need to contact go-daddy to find out what they have available (this is not a php coding issue) but it sounds to me like you need to get a decent host. Shared hosting isn't exactly designed for the load of audio conversion, you might be best to invest in a vps. this was you have control of the available software, and your not sharing resources amongst other clients.

droid17 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 GoDaddy says they don't install any mp3 encoders on their shared severs. Is there anyway to do this in php?
