I haven't really looked at it yet, but I think this needs some more work and 
testing in KFileMetaData because there is no real standard. Since I'm 
currently looking into that area, I'm willing to do that but it will probably 
take some time. Same goes for the cover art support. So I don't know if we 
should wait for those depending on when the first release should happen.

Best regards,
Alex
