Answer 1

Try this

<form action="#" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  File: <input type="file" name="fup" id="fup" /><br>
  Duration: <input type="text" name="f_du" id="f_du" size="5" /> seconds<br>
  <input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>
<audio id="audio"></audio>

<script>
// Code to get duration of audio /video file before upload - from: http://coursesweb.net/

//register canplaythrough event to #audio element to can get duration
var f_duration =0;  //store duration
document.getElementById('audio').addEventListener('canplaythrough', function(e){
  //add duration in the input field #f_du
  f_duration = Math.round(e.currentTarget.duration);
  document.getElementById('f_du').value = f_duration;
  URL.revokeObjectURL(obUrl);
});

//when select a file, create an ObjectURL with the file and add it in the #audio element
var obUrl;
document.getElementById('fup').addEventListener('change', function(e){
  var file = e.currentTarget.files[0];
  //check file extension for audio/video type
  if(file.name.match(/\.(avi|mp3|mp4|mpeg|ogg)$/i)){
    obUrl = URL.createObjectURL(file);
    document.getElementById('audio').setAttribute('src', obUrl);
  }
});
</script>
