Is there an app for right click file statistics?

I'd find it useful if there was an app that created a context menu for audio files and allowed you to check file statistics.. peak/lufs levels, clipping, bitdepth, length, etc.

Does this exist?

The best I have seen is the Audio Analysis module within J.River Media Center - right click on a file and it shows pretty much everything you have listed. But then again - it is part of JRMC and it's an audio player not a studio audio tool per se.

While this would be cool to have some sort of universal tool - I do not think one exists for the simple fact that all that cool analysis data (and storage of said stats) would need to occur (by the tool) before you could get anything useful out of it.

Plus a typical RAW wave file does not have the capability to store the type of attributes you have listed above so every file would need to be analyzed and catalogued offline somehow.

Ya I get what you mean. I guess there is header info in a wav file, but I can't imagine that this info being standard for every editor to implement.

VERY limited header info. Not nearly enough to make a standalone tool viable.
