Program to measure Bitrate / Sampling Frequency of audio

August 5th, 2016

Hi there,
I am looking for a program (it could be standalone / plug-in / add on, etc) (under Windows 7 – x86) with which I can measure th “Bitrate” and “Sampling frequency” of any audio that is played through a web browser.
For example, there are many websites that offer a preview of audio tracks before you purchase them. I would like to know the quality of that audio played through the web browser. (Example: 24 bit/192kHz)
Regards,
Nzyme

Answer #1
Anyone, please?
Answer #2
Theres Mediainfo http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
Install it and right click on your audio file and then choose View as Text, in that you can see both Bit rate and Sampling rate
Answer #3
What I mean is getting that info for music played through the web browser (Streaming flash…).
Answer #4
Not possible
Answer #5
Download the preview with the help of a program (Replay Media, Audacity,Orbit,IDM,etc.) and check the quality with Mediainfo.
Answer #6
The sample audio is usually down sampled heavily

The sample audio is usually down sampled heavilyThat’s the general procedure with some exceptions, I know, but he wanted to know the quality of that audio played through the web browser.

Answer #10
It’s pretty ironic that we get better quality audio illegally than by paying through iTunes or Amazon. iTunes still only provides a poorly encoded 256bit CBR AAC
Answer #11
Hi guys, if that doesn’t work, is it possible to get the “Bitrate” and “Sampling frequency” of any audio that passes through the soundcard in real time? For instance, I am listening to a track in the web browser and the audio ofcourse passes through the soundcard, so is it possible to get that info through some program?
Answer #12
Yes ofc but it would be very difficult for a program to do so. If you stream through winamp you could try “soundmaven” which is in very very premature form. Can’t hurt you though.
Answer #13
Please guys, I am only speaking of audio through a “Web browser” and not through any media player / downloaded file…
Answer #14
use orbit downloader to get the file from the site and then just look at its’ properties in windows
