MPEG Encoding

[Mc Brain]

I've been able to get all the information from the header (or so is what I think) But, somehow it does not work OK on some MP3s. See the image to understand better.

Both dialog boxes are showing the same information. However, Winamp says it's a MPEG-1 Layer 3, and my app thinks it's a MPEG-2.5 not defined Layer. Also, the headers seems to start on a different position. What could be the difference with this MP3??

is it vbr? are you reading the vbr header correctly?

[Mc Brain]

I don't know if it's a vbr. How could I know if it's a vbr or not?

Open it in winamp2, check the file info. it will tell you if it's vbr or not.

Anyway, what would be the difference if it's a vbr MP3. Shouldn't the main header be the same?
