Hello, I'd like to determine the number of frames included in an mp3 file given its size. Using the formula File_Size/(1152*Bitrate/Sampling_Rate) always leads to a number of frames that's smaller than the one indicated by an MP3 decoder (eg. WinAmp) for the same file. Could someone help me out

BIT_RATE = 1 means free format. This seems kinda confusing -- why use 1 to indicate free when MPEG uses 0? 0 is for 'reserved' (I'm not responsible of this part of the code). I've checked the file in hexadecimal, and sometimes I get frame header at 202 bytes from the previous instead
