Hi!

I love this software and I thank you all for the time spent on it.

I was wondering if it would be possible to add a column in the songs list : Bit Depth.

I got 16 bit and 24 bit songs in my collection and it would be useful to me to sort my songs by bit depth. I want to buy 24 bit versions of my songs to replace my existing 16 bit songs.

I use FLAC format songs.

Is it something possible?

Thank you!

It's possible. You can create a column yourself, like I did.... see picture.

Thank you so much!

See e.g. here:

> [@Filter based on filetype, samplerate and bitspersample](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/filter-based-on-filetype-samplerate-and-bitspersample/51528):
>
> I have a collection of both MP3 files and FLAC files. Some of the FLAC files have sample rates \>44.1 kHz and bitspersample \> 16 Would appreciate help with the proper syntax to list only the FLAC files with: filetype=flac and (samplerate\>44.1kHz or bitspersample\>16) Thanks

and the documentation:

> **[Format Strings and Placeholders – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/format/#technical-information)**
>
> Documentation on format strings and placeholders to describe the structure of file names and imported data. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
