[BUGS] Variable BIT Rate MP3 files and MP3 bit depth.

[niket.play]

Hello,

I noticed a bug in Neutron 1.80.0 & 1.80.1 both versions show wrong bit rates for files encoded with Variable bit rate option.

The file I played had an Average Variable bit rate of 149kbps. Neutron decoded it and showed that it was only 56kbps.

Other players I tried played it and recognized bit rate of 149kbps. I even re-encoded the file but with no luck, Neutron still showed 56kbps only.

Also another minor bug maybe that if Neutron displays the original input bit depth rate (i.e 16 bit or 24 bit) of a file as said in the update change-log then why are 16/32 bits mp3 files showing 64 bits as their bit depths.

Please do help and explain.

Thanks in advance.

Can someone help please...

I think Neutron does not calculate the average variable bit rate in mp3. It just takes the bitrate at the first second which is 56kbps for your mp3 file.

The last thing with the bit depth has changed for e.g. flac and m4a, but in mp3 it shows still 32bit/64bit depending on if you switched 64bit processing on. I don't know why they didnt change it for mp3, too...
