reads mp3 files or directories containing mp3 files and gives information about them. qmp3report
can output the reports with plain text or in html format. using the latter format, you can navigate your mp3 directories with a web browser.

qmp3report
leaves in each visited directory a file with the report for that directory, independently of the output format. the name of the report file is the name of the directory with extension .txt
or .html
depending on the selected output format.

variable bit rate (vbr) streams are detected by reading the initial 5 frames in the stream. if their bit rate field differs, the entire stream is read to compute the duration time with accuracy (see qmp3info).
if vbr is not detected, qmp3report
reads only the first frame in the stream and calculates the duration supposing that (1) the entire stream is composed by valid frames and (2) all the frames have the same bit rate. this is a fast way to compute the duration of the stream, but it is not exact: there's an error of 0.3% aprox.
the htmlize function, which converts file names in a suitable form for html format (ie. replacing blanks with '%20'), is not bulletproof.
