Hi,

does anyone know anything that can produce the sort of ASCII histogram 
that lame produces while encoding in VBR, from an existing .mp3 file?

I'm interested in analysing the bitrate distribution of frames of a VBR 
live stream, though I don't mind saving it to a disk file if necessary.

cheers, Ian
