Is there a way to determine an MP3 file’s encoded bit depth (ie 8, 16, 24, 32) in Python using the Mutagen library?

The transformations done by the MP3 encoding process drop completely the concept of “bit depth”. You can only know the bit depth of the source audio if such information was stored in a tag of the MP3 file. Otherwise, you can take the MP3 data and produce 8-bit, 16-bit or 24-bit audio.
