CheckBitrate

Description

This script can be placed in a folder and when it runs, it scans all the mp3 files contained in the subfolders. Once eveything is scanned, it displays a list of folders that has mp3 files with a bitrate below 300 kbps.

Before running, the library mutagen must be installed:

pip install mutagen

Code

import os
from mutagen.mp3 import MP3
 
def check_mp3_bitrate(base_folder, threshold=300):
    low_bitrate_folders = []
 
    for root, _, files in os.walk(base_folder):
        contains_low_bitrate = False
        for file in files:
            if file.lower().endswith(".mp3"):
                file_path = os.path.join(root, file)
                try:
                    audio = MP3(file_path)
                    bitrate = audio.info.bitrate // 1000  # Convert to kbps
                    if bitrate < threshold:
                        contains_low_bitrate = True
                except Exception as e:
                    print(f"Error processing file: {file_path}, Error: {e}")
 
        if contains_low_bitrate:
            relative_path = os.path.relpath(root, base_folder)
            low_bitrate_folders.append(relative_path.replace(os.sep, " > "))
 
    if low_bitrate_folders:
        print("\nFolders containing MP3 files with bitrate below", threshold, "kbps:")
        for folder in low_bitrate_folders:
            print(folder)
    else:
        print("No folders found with MP3 files below the specified bitrate.")
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    base_folder = os.getcwd()
    print(f"Scanning folder: {base_folder}")
    check_mp3_bitrate(base_folder)
