[Feature Request] Music tracks do not require the correct bit rate when the file has VBR

tarcisio-lima opened this issue · comments

Description

When a song is playing, in its details it is not able to identify when the track has VBR (variable bit rate). Apparently he takes an arbitrary value and defines it as the fixed rate.
issue-screenshoot

Solution

All my music is ~256kbps. I didn't feel any loss of quality during playback. So I imagine it's just a label with the random value

Alternatives

N/A

Additional Context

Apparently it occurs with all files that have a variable bit rate

Checklist

It's probably not random, it probably just doesn't know it is vbr (~same issue with many other software) and I think it divides the total kilobits of the song by the total duration of the song.

VBR just decides a target bitrate for the encoder to try and achieve, does it not? The actual output could end up undershooting or overshooting the target in the encoding process.
