exiftool -AudioBitrate always shows 128000. I would like to know the average bitrate of the mp3-file, which was encoded with a lame preset.
Can send me a sample file? (philharvey66 at gmail.com)
Thanks for the samples. These use a variable-bit-rate encoding, and the bitrate can be calculated from the values of other tags. I will add a new Composite AudioBitrate tag which will do this calculation for VBR files.

Thanks Phil, does this mean, that the bitrate of files with CBR cannot be queried using this field?

The MPEG:AudioBitrate tag will still exist. With "
exiftool -audiobitrate FILE", the MPEG:AudioBitrate will be extracted for CBR files and the new Composite:AudioBitrate tag will be extracted for VBR files. Of course, you can always extract both with
-a, or either one specifically by specifying the group name.
