mp3 detection flawed ...
 

has anyone noticed that when gnotella
scans variable bit rate mp3's it returns
a sample value of 48kbps as the data rate
instead of a more reasonable figure ....

There is a solution to variable bitrate MP3's

A lot of people are using this new utility to add the bitrate right into the MP3 filenames. Search on '44KHz' to see what I mean.

Awesome Song.[160Kb 44KHz 3'35].mp3

It handles VBR format perfectly:

Awesome Song.[194Kv 44KHz 4'17].mp3

Hey just to let you all know, I send this file to ZDNet for "real" hosting. They check out all files for virus/trojans etc, so you know it's safe. I just want the world to show their bitrates.
