What does the MP3Info plugin do?

Zoom Search Engine v5.0 introduces a new feature that allows users to search for MP3 files like those used by Winamp or iTunes. Searching is carried out by using metadata associated with the file. MP3 files are capable of storing textual data to provide more information about the MP3 as well as technical metadata in the file that details the MP3 conversion parameter such as bitrate, sampling rate, song duration, etc. The MP3Info plugin extracts this metadata and allow Zoom to index this metadata according to its configuration. Although it is most likely that the technical information is present, it is quite common for the informative metadata to be missing from these files.
