I ram coding a website that links to thousands of mp3's on the web, but i need to retrieve the duration of these files without first uploading them onto my server. I already tried using getid3 script but that requires you to have the mp3 file on your server. Any other way to achieve this?

I don't think you can from file size as different encodings are possible. BUT there is this site that should allow you to do it:
