About Fakin' The Funk?
Fakin' The Funk? checks audio files in batches to detect whether their actual sound quality matches the quality they are labeled with. The homepage gives the example of MP3 files that were upscaled from 128 kbps to 320 kbps. The tool analyzes each file's bitrate and frequency. If it finds a lower bitrate or frequency peak than claimed, it shows the actual bitrate. You can then rename, copy or move the flagged files, or delete them.
The free version is limited to the first 100 detected fake files. Lifetime updates are offered with the full version. Processing speed depends mainly on the hard drive and CPU. The homepage gives an example of 1,000 files processed in 40 seconds from an SSD, 72 seconds from a SATA drive, and significantly slower from a USB drive.
