Re: a program to verify original rip bitrate?

It may not be so easy to tell. Even high bitrate MP3 usually has an obvious cutoff at 16 kHz.
And even if you could estimate the actual lowpass frequency, different encoders behave differently.

And it's possible the high bitrate mp3s were encoded by ridiculously old encoders or used stupid settings (or that the music actually sounds kinda like a bad mp3).
