I've tried it in a clean copy of the current version too. I haven't tried the beta, will definately try this out.

I've written a little script to give as much information about the file, as you said.

the script (for those who care):

Code:
alias mp3test {
    var %f $scriptdirmusic.mp3
    var %s album title artist year comment genre track length version bitrate vbr sample mode copyright private crc id3 tag tags
    var %c 1
    while (%c <= $numtok(%s, 32)) {
        echo -s $gettok(%s, %c, 32) - $sound(%f). [ $+ [ $gettok(%s, %c, 32) ] ]
        inc %c
    }
}


the output:

Code:

bitrate - 192
