Audio File Inspector
Deep-inspect any audio file. View format details, metadata, tags, cover art, and technical specifications: codec, bitrate, sample rate, and bit depth as reported by the file.
What this tool tells you
What it does
Use this when you need to see what an audio file reports about itself: codec, bitrate, sample rate, bit depth, channels, and embedded tags.
How to use it
Open a file to view its container, codec, and metadata fields, including ID3/Vorbis tags and cover art where present.
How to interpret it
This reads reported metadata, not decoded-signal evidence, so it cannot confirm the audio content actually matches what the file claims. For that, use the Hi-Res Audio Verifier or Lossy Audio Detector.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What information does this show?
- Codec, container format, reported bitrate, reported sample rate, reported bit depth, channel count, duration, tags, and embedded cover art, as reported by the file itself.
- Does this verify the audio actually matches what the file reports?
- No. This tool reads reported metadata, not decoded-signal evidence. For an evidence-based check of whether the decoded audio is consistent with the reported format, use the Hi-Res Audio Verifier or Lossy Audio Detector.
