Command line tool to identify audio file specs

On OS X you might just use mdls or mdfind.

For easy to parse output, try ffprobe -show_format 2>/dev/null from FFmpeg.

On OS X, you can install it through Homebrew via brew install ffmpeg.

$ ffprobe *.mp3 -show_format 2>/dev/null

[/FORMAT]

In a script:

find -iname '*.mp3' | while read -r file; do
    bitrate=$(ffprobe "$file" -show_format 2>/dev/null |
              awk -F"=" '$1 == "bit_rate" {print $2}')
    if (( bitrate <= 128000 )); then
        echo "[$bitrate] $file"
    fi
done

EDIT: just found a Linux program

Under Linux, mp3info:

mp3info -p "%Q %L %v %o %r" test.mp3
output:
48000 III 1.000000 joint stereo

I know you want a Linux solution; however, by the way you stated your question, it sounds like a Windows solution is not completely out...

Under Windows, tag.exe will do the job.

Example:

C:\mp3>tag.exe "test.mp3"
Tag - Automatic Tag from filename
Copyright (c) 2002-2003 Case.  Minor additions by Neil Popham, 2004-2007
Version 2.0.52, Compiled 2007-05-04

C:\dl\test.mp3
Format:  MPEG 1 Layer 3, Joint Stereo
Details: 44100 Hz Stereo, 128 kbps, playtime 05:24
Tag:     ID3v2

To just get the bitrate:

C:\mp3>tag.exe "test.mp3" 2>&1 | findstr /i "Details:"
Details: 44100 Hz Stereo, 128 kbps, playtime 05:24
