I saw the bitrate column after I'd played around with LimeWire for a while - perhaps the sixth song I searched for - nothing obscure, I was trying out my searches on standard stuff like the Beatles - had a few returns that listed "Bitrate". However, the great majority don't seem to list bitrate, unlike on the other services. Since the info is embedded in most of the files (for example, S n G's "S of S" had no info in the bitrate column when I downloaded it from LimeWire, but told me the bitrate in the "Quality" column when I transfered it and opened it in Grokster), it seems that somehow LimeWire isn't presenting all of the useful info that is available.

And the length of the track is nowhere to be found on LimeWire, right?
