Oct 14, 2013 at 14:56 comment added terdon See here and here for a detailed explanation of the ffmpeg/libav controversy.
Oct 14, 2013 at 8:17 comment added evilsoup avprobe is part of the libav project, which is a fork of the ffmpeg project (which is what ffprobe came from). There are some differences between the two, but avprobe will produce mostly the same output and take mostly the same options as ffprobe, so this answer (and my comment) can be used with avprobe too. Alternatively, you can grab a static build of ffmpeg/ffprobe from here.
Oct 13, 2013 at 23:31 comment added Runium No. He means ffprobe. It is not part of unstable. Removed back in 2011. E.g. for i386 stable vs. unstable
Oct 13, 2013 at 22:42 comment added PersianGulf Are you sure? wich distro?i installed libav-tools, but it has avprobe, Do you mean avprobe?
Oct 13, 2013 at 22:14 comment added terdon Strange, it is part of the libav-tools package.
Oct 13, 2013 at 21:57 comment added PersianGulf i do apt-file search ffprobe and i didn't any result on sid debian repository.
Oct 13, 2013 at 21:44 comment added evilsoup This doesn't answer the question (though it's certainly a good starting point for the script that would be necessary), and you'd be better off using ffprobe's -show_format option, like: ffprobe -show_format -i file.mp3 | sed -n '/duration/s/.*=//p'
