How to use:

The Album Bitrate Checker scans all folders inside the selected
startfolder for mp3 files, and writes - or only shows - the bitrate
in the album name. 

To add other formats to be recognised, or change the current
writing format of the bitrate in the album name, you can modify
the 'formats.ini' file.

The following actions are available:

 - Check bitrates
Scans the bitrates of all albums in the selected folder and shows
them in a list. This wil NOT rename any folders. The list can be
saved as .txt file.

 - Write all albums
Removes any existing bitrate formats from the album/folder names
and adds the bitrate of the mp3 files inside. When a album contains
files at different bitrates the lowest and highest bitrate are shown.

 - Write new albums only
Does not remove any existing bitrates, only adds bitrates to the
folders that do not have bitrate information yet.

 - Remove all bitrates
Cleans the album/folder names from all known bitrate information.

Using the 'File - Save album list' option you can save a list of
all abums in the selected folder or drive.

VBR encoded files are fully supported.
