Unfortunately, Node can't do that itself (with fs or similar). At some point, it will require some OS-dependant binary tools to get information like duration or bitrate.

I would go with mp3info npm package which embed the mp3info tool for linux.

Also, one should avoid to calculate the duration with the size and the bitrate as the bitrate can be constant or variable ie non predictable.
