[DllImportAttribute("bass")]
public static double BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds(

The translation is based on the channel's initial sample rate, when it was created.

ERROR CODEDescription
BASS_ERROR_HANDLEhandle is not a valid channel.

Examples
Getting the elapsed and remaining time:
VB
Copy
' length in bytes
Dim len As Long = Bass.BASS_ChannelGetLength(channel)
' position in bytes
Dim pos As Long = Bass.BASS_ChannelGetPosition(channel)
' the total time length
Dim totaltime As Double = Bass.BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds(channel, len)
' the elapsed time length
Dim elapsedtime As Double = Bass.BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds(channel, pos)
Dim remainingtime As Double = totaltime - elapsedtime
Copy
// length in bytes
long len = Bass.BASS_ChannelGetLength(channel);
// position in bytes
long pos = Bass.BASS_ChannelGetPosition(channel);
// the total time length
double totaltime = Bass.BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds(channel, len);
// the elapsed time length
double elapsedtime = Bass.BASS_ChannelBytes2Seconds(channel, pos);
double remainingtime = totaltime - elapsedtime;
