Why not make a conclusion bitrate mp3 file played back on the bottom panel (which displays the name of playing mp3 file)?
Is very uncomfortable every time to enter the menu!

You really need to see bitrate during playback?

Yes, it would be very convenient!
Many players (aimp, real player, winamp, spider player ....) deduce the bitrate on the main window and do not need to seek the properties file or enter the menu!
