Hi David Sears,
The simplest solution is to download the entire audio and then cut out the unnecessary portion. This can be easily achieved using 'webread'.
% Downloading the audio into MATLAB variables
options = weboptions("ContentType", "audio");
[data, fs] = webread('http://radio.garden/api/ara/content/listen/tMGsmGxF/channel.mp3', options);
% Method 1 ---------------------------
% Saving the audio
audiowrite('audio.mp3', data, fs);
% Reading the first 5 seconds of the audio
[data2, fs2] = audioread('audio.mp3', [1, 5 * fs]);
% Method 2 ----------------------------
% Directly trim the audio from raw data
data3 = data(1:5 * fs, :);
For more information on the above MATLAB functions, refer the following resources,
Hope this is helpful.
