I've been through the Slim MP3 tag reading code. It seems to be general
enough to read all known tags. It contains a list of tags it's looking
for. If they missed some for some reason, it wouldn't be hard to add
those.

I haven't checked how it handles the extensible tags yet. That would be
a second stage. First I think we should make better use of what it does
do (i.e. composer, orchestra, conductor, principal players, etc).

At the next level up, the database is only interested in a select few
and ignores the others. But I assume someone with more knowledge than I
about the database level could implement the changes needed there.

There is a general mechanism to map the MP3 tags to "standard" names
for the higher levels of the slim code. I assume something similar
exists in the parallel universes of OGG, FLAC, etc. But I don't know
that for a fact.
