I did a first try and discovered that I will need to spend some time on it before it works.
First of all I've noticed that MP3 file returns many more info_pairs that the code is prepare to handle (i.e. tagversion, size, frames, frame_length, padding, time)
I quess MP3 evolved since 2001 when this package was first build.

1. I never worked with MP3 files before so my question to start would be: Do I need to accomodate (add fields in mp3_mp3s table) these new info pairs.

For now I ignored them by expanding "switch -exact $info_key" with those parameters and ignore them when found.

I didn't look inside much, beyond looking at how the database
and file system integration was done. I was also looking at adding ogg format, also.

I'd guess that the original code was just for "in house" use
for the developers and that they didn't try for an exhaustive
feature implementation.
