mp3 bitrate

[Mike Cantrell]

If you're a perl guy, you can use the MP3 module...

http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/MP3/

[taken from readme]
    get_mp3info (FILE)
        Returns hash reference containing file information for MP3 file.
        This data cannot be changed. Returned data includes MP3 version
        (VERSION), total time in minutes (MM) and seconds (SS), boolean
        for STEREO, MPEG layer (LAYER), BITRATE, MODE, boolean for
        COPYRIGHT, and FREQUENCY.


I've never used the module but I'd assume you could do something like:


#!/usr/local/bin
use MP3::Info;

$mp3dir = '/usr/share/mp3s';

@files = glob($mp3dir);
foreach $file (@files) {
  $info = get_mp3info($file);
  print $file, ", " $info->{BITRATE}, "\n";
}
