EncSpot is an excellent utility which shows you all the information regarding your MP3 files. Such information include What BitRate (VBR, CBR, ABR,) Encoder Used (Lame, FhG, Xing etc.), the general quality of your files and alot more useful information. There is also a PRO version which can be bought but it costs $20

Click here to go to the official site where you can read more about the app and download it: http://www.guerillasoft.co.uk/encspot/index.html

well lucky for me its not essay papers or anything. My audio student's final was two parts; first they had to take a 1 minute animation clip and add foley (sound effects), music, and ADR (dialogue). They already showed those in class this past week, and now I'm grading the second part, which was a 50 quesiton mutliple choise test. I have until Thursday to get the grades in, but I'd rather just do them all now and get them out of the way.

it would be nice if it could scan a little quicker though. compared to how fast Tag&Rename is, its pretty slow. The pro version claims to have a faster caching ability, but that doesn't seem worth upgrading just to get it to scan faster. Do you have the pro version? I think I might have to (cough cough) see whats out there...

edit: also, if you set it to scan ALL frames, its SUPER slow, LOL

Yea it is a tad slow but still definately worth using seeing as it's free. I don't have the pro version as the basic version suits my needs perfectly. As you said very simple interface and no complicated argi bargy. A definite tool for people who have alot of MP3's.
