Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 I hear you, dawg - that's why I brought it up in IRC a few weeks ago. If
 another ID3 parser exists that does this stuff and is mucho smaller, let's
 use it! However, I am only one man and this was the best library I found
 for the job - there was nothing else that was comparable.

 Because there are so many formats of audio and video to support, and
 WordPress needs to be a facade for the parsing of metadata for all of
 these formats, this code isn't practical to bring in house. Any substitute
 would have to support ID3v1, ID3v2, APE, Vorbis Comment, RIFF, ASF
 parsing, etc etc - and by "parse" I mean "do byte stream analysis"

 I am going to suggest we mark this fixed, ready to be reopened when
 someone comes marching in with an alternate solution.
