Hi Richard, OK, you're asking about the sample rate, not the "sample size" Paul said in his post which puzzles me. There are two cases to this question.
First case: If you can play the MP3 file on the BN, then press SPACE with I (READ with I) while it's playing and SPACE through the information provided, which includes the title (not necessarily the same as the file name and it may be blank if nothing was entered when the MP3 file was created), the track length, sample rate (in hz) and bit rate (in kbps). Second case: If you cannot play the MP3 file on the BN, and you have a computer running Windows, get a copy of the file there, and view it in Windows Explorer or when you open the folder where the file is located. Navigate to that file (do NOT hit ENTER), press the Applications key or SHIFT with F10 for the Context Menu, and type R for Properties. You will be placed in the Properties Dialog. Next, press CTRL+TAB to take you to the Summary Page, You will be placed in a list box where you can DOWN ARROW to see the items there which gives the following info about the MP3 file: Artist, Album Title, Year, Track Number, Genre, Lyrics, Title, Comments, Protected (yes or no), Duration, Bit Rate, Channels, and Audio Sample Rate (which is what you're asking about). Press ESCAPE to exit Properties or TAB to the Cancel button and hit SPACE to activate. Jonathan has already posted what the supported sample rates are for the BN's Media Player. If you're using a different OS, let the list know and maybe someone else can help. If you do not have a computer but only a BN, then I'm afraid there's no way for you to find out just using the BN what the sample rate is for MP3 files that won't play.
