Well, that would imply that the client would have to scan each and every frame of each and every mp3 you share. Even if this would only be done for VBR files (assuming there is some way to tell that from the header of the files or by scanning the first few frames), it still would mean scanning a helluva lot of data when creating the meta data of all shared mp3s. I don't think it would be a good idea to let the client do all that work to get the maximum bitrate of a VBR file.
