  import org.farng.mp3.id3.AbstractID3v2;


  public class ID3Reader {
File sourcefile;
MP3File mp3file;

public ID3Reader(String filename) {
        sourcefile = new File(filename);
        try {
            mp3file = new MP3File(sourcefile);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();

            e.printStackTrace();
        }
}

public static void main( String[] args )
{

    ID3Reader id3reader = new ID3Reader("D:\\Mp3\\taxi.mp3");
    id3reader.displayinformations();
}

private void displayinformations() {
    String title="", artist="", album="", genre="", year="";
    System.out.println("bit rate"+mp3file.getBitRate()); // print bit rate as 0(zero).
    if(mp3file.hasID3v1Tag()){

        AbstractID3v1 tag = mp3file.getID3v1Tag();
        if(tag != null){
            try{ title = tag.getSongTitle(); }catch(Exception e){}
            try{ artist = tag.getLeadArtist(); }catch(Exception e){}

Answer 1

you need to call mp3file.seekMP3Frame(); before attempting to retrieve bitrate, this method will read the file headers including the bitrate.
