I have several files that shows in Mp3tag incorrect values for bitrate, sampling frequency and playtime. For example, for following file  
[http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/0509/05...bilingual-e.mp3](http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/0509/050925-bilingual-e.mp3)  
Mp3tag reports MPEG 1 Layer I, 256kbit, 48000Hz, 0:06, but Winamp  
reports following values:

Size: 195851 bytes  
Header found at: 142 bytes  
Length: 98 seconds  
MPEG 2.5 layer 3  
16kbit, 1881 frames  
11025Hz Mono

Yep, I can confirm this.  
EncSpot, foobar2000, Winamp and my old VBSpot identify the file as MPEG 2.5, 11.025 KHz, 16 kbps, Mono.
