Just curious if there are any programs out there that'll identify what my mp3 was encoded in? In iTunes it just says "Unknown" but its in mp3 format.

iTunes does display the encoder, so long as the encoder inserts that meta information.

Oh ok. Mine says "Encoded with: Unknown" though. How do I know if the meta information was inserted in the file?

You don't know what you encoded your MP3 in? Out of curiosity, why do you need to know?

Odds are, it was LAME.

I encoded a couple CD's I had a while back using LAME, just forgot which version. iTunes always had it showed up as unknown even the current version. Unless it was LAME 3.97.
