What is the terminal command that can used to find the bitrate of an mp3 file?

Is there any other option available other than mpg321 -t name.mp3?

Simply put:

file song.mp3

Note: file is included with Ubuntu.

For alias lovers, insert this at the end of your ~/.bashrc file:

bitrate () {

    echo `basename "$1"`: `file "$1" | sed 's/.*, (.*)kbps.*/1/' | tr -d " " ` kbps

}

Open a new Terminal window. You may now run the following command:

bitrate song.mp3
