any way to tell which compression method was used?

Is there any way to figure out what compression mode was used? (ie. fast, high, extra high)

i want to make sure anything i download is extra high, and if its not, transcode it to extra high as not to waste space...

alt-3 (view file info) in winamp w/ APE plugin works for this.  Would be nice if fb2k showed it somewhere...

Strange... I was tending to think (reading numerous topics on this board) that F2K is THE ULTIMATE PLAYER, while WinAmp definitely sucks...
How come that WinAmp shows that info, and F2K not?
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

Perhaps 3 years ago it didn't, nice resurrecting a 3 year old thread.
