FLAC Bitrate #31

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Is FLAC bitrate gonna be supported in the future?

I submitted this bug for exaile,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/exaile/+bug/454686 and it said mutagen does not
provide bitrate for flacs.

No, it won't be supported. It's a pointless measurement for FLAC.

Throwing in my 2 cents, even though it has been marked as WontFix...

While I do agree that bitrate is an "useless" info for lossless files providing 
the
info would allow applications to have nicer behaviour when having to display 
those
bitrates.

Taking Quodlibet (or Exaile apparently) as an example, when you display the 
bitrate
column, it says "0" (or -1), and that is just wrong. They could display 
nothing, but
it's also wrong. Lossless files do have a bitrate, and even if the info is not
useful, at least it would provide an unified behaviour.

If Exaile or Quod Libet want to spend the time to get an accurate bitrate 
calculation 
(which basically involves decoding the file) or an inaccurate one (divide bytes 
by 
seconds), that's fine. It's not the domain of Mutagen.
