WMA bit rate display

[ezra2323]

Spoon, similar to an earlier problem with MP3, dBPoweramp reads the bit rate on VBR files as the first bit rate used, not the average bit rate.

Using 2 pass 128 VBR to encode, your program reads the files as bit rates ranging from 90 - 170. WMP shows the files as 128 kbps.

Not a HUGE problem by any stretch, but a minor annoyance I wanted to make you aware of.

I have looked into it but have not found any code to implement it, I will fire off an email to the Microsoft guy I know.

Any luck from the MS guy? This would be a cool fix.

BTW - the transcoding feature is too cool. Ripping right to WMA lossless - capturing all tag info AND perfect quality for archiving on CDs. Then transcoding directly from WMA lossless to WMA9 128 kbps VBR 2 pass for portable play - and the tag info transfers. Just awesome.

I was doing it before with Monkey's Audio and MP3 - but the tags did not transfer forcing hours of re-tagging. No more! Thanks Spoon.

He gave me a hint, I will look into it when I get chance.
