Feature: Add audio file bitrate to details pane about files HOT 6 CLOSED

Adding bitrate information directly in the details tab of the Files app sounds like a useful enhancement, especially for users who frequently work with audio files and need quick access to such information. It streamlines the process and eliminates the need to navigate through additional menus to find the desired details.

@Artoryn sure.

Howdy! Would I be able to take this item? It might be a good first contribution or a way for me to get started helping with this project.

Just to pointer to lead you in the right direction, there is a properties json file that lists all the properties to be displayed in the details pane.

Thank you for the feedback.

For the record, the information can be viewed in the details tab, the Files properties window.

While making changes for this, I noticed that there is already code for formatting these bitrates. I believe the formatting should be moved to utilize the DisplayFunctions for both the Preview Pane and the Details section (of the properties window) for Video.EncodingBitrate and Audio.Bitrate.

I wanted to verify whether this would be acceptable due to the "Did you implement any design changes to an existing feature?" as centralizing and using DisplayFunctions would modify the properties window, which is outside the needed changes. Technically, this change is not required, but it cleans duplicate code.

I did notice also that the issue/feature states that the value displayed is "off" as stated "For example a 320kbps audio file on file explorer is shown as 312.5 kbps on files app, and a 192kbps file is shown as 187.5 on files app". From looking, that is most likely due to the calculation being done. 192000 / 1024 would be 187.5 and not 192. So, we could change this conversion to kilo-bits (kbps) instead of kilo-bytes (KBps).
