kAudioFilePropertyBitRate is returning nonsensical values for some files.

For most, but not all, AAC files (encoded by iTunes) it returns numbers like 63992, 63989, 96003. Each file gets different results, but they're repeatable for that file.

I dug into this some more. The problem here is actually that the units are inconsistent between codecs. AAC and AIFF files return the bit- rate in bps, but MP3 files use kbps, so they're off by a factor of 1000.


I just tried to file this using the Apple Bug Reporter, but it looks like the server ate it — after I submitted the report it sent me back to the login page, and the bug didn't get filed. :-P
Is this already known?
