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.
