MP3 Info: I agree that this is one option which was dropped in Apex which never should have been . To be quite honest there are quite a few files out there on the hubs which are no better that analogue telephone quality at 32 and sometimes 16 kbps. In PeerWeb DC++ the 4 pieces of information that are returned on MP3s are both helpful and complete i.e . MPEG Version, Channel Mode (#), Frequency and Bitrate. A similar type of operation would be terrific for video files such as .AVI (which almost seems to be the de facto standard out there) and return the Video Codec, the Resolution (e.g. 640 x 464) and the BitRate. A further enhancement to this might be the compound entity returned by AVICodec called File Quality which is a weighted calculation based upon the Audio and Video attributes combined and a good reflection on the overall quality of the video file. So, whilst it is terrific to locate and download some of these files, it is perhaps more relevant to many of us that we can enjoy the highest quality performance that is available. Cheers....
