Description

This feature would allow applications to dig deeper into files to define meta-data that is not presented as a tag in the file. For example a file that has no duration information could with a little more work provide this missing information. The idea is to let the API user make a difference between data that is quick to retrieve and data that is slower to retrieve because of the extra processing needed to get that information.
