Find lowest quality Apple Music files I imported?

I just found a hard drive back-up with better quality audio files than ones I imported into Apple Music awhile ago (CD quality, 320 kbps vs. 192). Other than going through every song in my Apple Music Library one by one, is there any way to search or find the 192kbps files?


If not, any less time-consuming way to find them in the "Music" folder where the non-Apple Music songs are kept?


Thanks.

If you have System Preferences > Spotlight > Search Results > Music category selected, and the drive is indexed, then the syntax that I provided can be entered in the Spotlight 🔍 menu bar item, or in a Finder Window search field. I suggest the latter as it will show more files.
