Record Audio In Browser to File

WindyJMusic has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all, first-time poster

Looking for some advice on modules I can use to collect audio from a browser window and save it to a file on my server, perhaps with a maximum time limit. I'm not picky about audio formats, but it does need to work on any browser. Suggestions?

Thanks,
WindyJ

Out of interest, what sort of audio are you talking about, voice/mic input? The reason I ask is that cross browser, low latency audio workflows I think may cause issues, especially if it has to work cross browser on 'consumer' hardware. Regardless, that's going to be a client side thing, JavaScript(one example)/Web Audio, sending the resultant audio to a perl backend, for which I'd suggest a Mojolicious::Lite/Mojolicious framework, depending on your needs.

I'm definitely only looking for voice/mic input. I have students who play musical instruments I would like to record (amongst other things) and I was hoping to do it in a browser so that I don't have to worry about file management (it's the bane of my existence). I'll read what you've suggested here, may come back with more questions.	[reply]

Hello WindyJMusic and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of perl read an mp3 stream and save tracks using icy-metaint (ICY protocol) is the closest thing it comes to me: it was a fun project to grab `ICY` streams from interner radios. It works with some radio, not all. Share your findings! L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.
