windows explorer mp3 bit rate error

[Guest Flynn]

I have a USB hard drive connected to my laptop. When I examine files on the

drive, it shows mp3 bit rates as being very high, e.g., 600 kbps. When I

examine the same files on another computer, they show the correct bit rate,

e.g., 360 kbps. Any ideas on why the files come up with a higher bit rate on

the laptop (XP Home Edition) than on my other computers?
