Oh, I thought you wanted the numbers. Well, awk is still your friend.
You could use something like:
mp3_check -avv sample.mp3 | awk -v minbr=32 -v maxbr=448 -v
maxwidth=80 -v dispchar="*" '/BitRate/ {
Num=int(($2-minbr)/(maxbr-minbr)*maxwidth); bar=""; for (i=0; i < Num;
i++) bar=bar dispchar; print bar } '
instead (and probably there are more elegant ways to do this if you
know awk well).
