When in the Finder, doing a Get Info (command-I) on an mp3 file will give you all kinds of details but some of it is hidden behind a "More Info" collapsed disclosure triangle. If you expand that with the space bar then VO-right you'll find a bunch of stuff including the sample rate and duration.

If you're into the terminal thing the sox package can also get info using the "soxi name_of_your_file.mp3" command which will spit out everything you might want to know about a file. It can also handle batches so if I do "soxi *.mp3" in a particular folder it will display all the info about all the files and the very last line will be the total playing time and a file count.

Hi,

You're on the right track. When in the Get Info window, make sure you're on the Summary tab. Navigate right, the first item after the tabs should be the Title of the mp3 file, the next item is the one you want. It will start by saying the Kind of file that it is, mp3, AAC and so on. The Bit Rate and more will be announced there as well.

Later...

Hi, listers. How do I find the bit rate of an mp3 file on my mac? I selected a single mp3 file, went into its context menu, and into the get info window, and seemingly found everything but the bit rate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
