Determine frequency of audio signal in Audacity

I need to find the frequency range of musical audio signal (mp3 files), and also to get a graph of the frequencies, to determine frequency allocation, to see what frequency range contain the maximum audio information. Windows 7.

See the Manual. Choose appropriate settings for your file. You may want to change to Log axis which is a better representation of how we hear audio, with lower frequencies given more width.
