Death to ID3 tags! APE tags are much more fun to deal with. I believe that
WavPack also uses APE tags, as, of course, does the Monkey's Audio format.
That'll take care of all of the major lossless audio formats, which will
make many folks very happy.

if there is going to be a CPAN module, then the effort probably isn't
needed.
btw...using MP3::Info works fine for (older) mpc files that happen to have
ID3v1 tags. I'd love to test those modules if they can be emailed to me
off-list. The patch for the server support would be handy too, as it may be
differnt from what I've done (tho, probably not since its really rather
trivial to add new codecs now)
