Viewing bitrate/file type?

[AKW17]

Hey all,

New MusicBee user here. I am likely just missing it, but is there a way I can sort all songs by bitrate and file type?

What I am trying to do is to single out all non-mp3 and under 192 bitrate songs in my library for replacement. It is a large library, around 90k songs.

Thanks for any help!

You can do a custom search with the criteria being
.Ext is not mp3
AND
Bitrate is less than 192

Better yet is to create an auto-playlist with the same criteria.  DO NOT covert them to FLAC or a higher bitrate since that would give you better quality. You shouldn't covert a lossy file to a lossless file. The advantage of the auto-playlist is that as you weed out the tracks they will automatically drop off the list once they no longer meet the criteria.

EDIT: Or, as hiccup stated, a filter with the same criteria. Which would also remove the tracks from the list once they no longer met the criteria.

I don't do mistakes, I do happy accidents.

My reply there was:

Should be easy to do by creating a library filter or an auto-playlist.
You will find both already have 'bitrate' and '.ext' in their drop-down condition/selection menus.
