a feature that i personally find useful in modern versions of windows explorer is the option (in list view) to list additional mp3 info. there’s really only one column that interests me: bitrate. for my weird auditing purposes i like to make sure that my music collection is at least 128kps minimum, preferably 192kpbs. only […]
