Win 7 file details don't show 24 bit or 44.1 sample rate
With audio files (particularly WAV's), Audio Sample Rate and Audio Sample Size are not available choices within the list of View Details with Win 7. In XP, they are both selectable as details. Is there a way to get these to show up in Win 7? Or is there an alternate way of viewing this info?
I just upgraded to Win 7 and see that this lost feature has been going on since Vista. What's the best solution or workaround?

I'm probably wrong but I think the Details tab could (I am guessing) be a using wrapper from Windows Media Player for media files.
The workaround is to open it in an editor. I use Wavosaur as it is free, quick (faster than Audacity) and dirty (more important).

I've run up against this before. Bit Depth is an option but the column always comes up blank, and there's no option for Sample Rate. The only thing you can get is Bit Rate which is the product of Bit Depth and Sample Rate. So you just need to get used to what those values are for the depths and rates you commonly use. For example:
44.1 x 16 = 706 kbps
44.1 x 24 = 1058 kbps
44.1 x 32 = 1411 kbps
48 x 24 = 1152 kbps
48 x 24 = 1536 kbps
etc.

> 44.1 x 16 = 706 kbps
Not sure if this is right...
I just looked and:
44.1 x 16 Bits comes out as 1411kbps
Maybe the table is out of phase?
Cheers...

Scratch that last comment perhaps, Wavosaur and Audacity report different bit rates, and it gets weirder as it seems inconsistently wrong. I don't know what to believe any more... Maybe tomorrow will bring a better day !

I don't know if this is the best way but since this is a Sonar forum...

Thanks this is very useful and tells me quick enough what I need to know without having to load the file into another program. When I checked the files, my numbers were double the size of yours, so it appears your numbers are for mono files, whereas I tested this on stereo files, so that explains why my numbers were doubled. This solves this problem for me, thanks.

I just set mine to 96 Hz and 24 bit because that's the highest it would go. As for storage space, I don't think I'm going to notice 8 tb being filled up any time soon.
