Now that's a new one on me Kendall. Thanks for letting us know about it. It would make an interesting tech-note for UpdateStage. Not surprising tho since you certainly can read MP3 audio file header data that contains information such as the title, artist and type of music as well as read RealAudio file header data. Both of those tech notes are on the site.
