| Summary | 0000589: Variable bitrate MP3s incorrectly identified as 64 kbps | ||||
| Description | When running `file` to classify an MP3 file, if the MP3 is encoded with a variable bitrate, `file`'s output classifies it as a 64 kbps MP3 regardless of the actual average bitrate of the file. I'd expect that in situations like this, `file` either gives the correct average bitrate, or at least refrains from reporting a bitrate if it's not sure. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Download the attached MP3 2. Run `ffmpeg -i example.mp3` and verify that it detects a bitrate of 102 kb/s 3. Run `file example.mp3` and verify that it reports `MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 64 kbps` | ||||
