Bitrate is reported incorrectly for VBR MP3

[Elliott B]

If I play a V0 MP3, RuneAudio displays the bitrate as 32kbps. Mediainfo says 32kbps is the "minimum bit rate", a measurement which is mostly irrelevant. It would be more useful to display the average bit rate, which is 238kbps in this case.

You are right, current bitrate visualization is bound to MPD status changes. RuneUI works in an asynchronous way and information are updated every time an MPD event occurs. Bitrate value is read on the fly and may show very low values in some points of the tracks, so for a more accurate report we should show an average value. But that's not a perfect solution:

Hmm interesting. So maybe I'll run that to "fix" the tags of my music.
Is MPD also the reason sample format is incorrectly shown as 24 bit for all my V0 songs?

Redbook ALAC files show up as: 32 bit, 44,1 kHz.
This ought to be 16 bit, no?

Does MPD mean 16x 2 channels?
Or is it just listed incorrectly?
