NOTE

	Some of these properties are retrieved from the ID3 tag, which is located near the end of all MP3 files. (How much information is actually available in the ID3 tag depends on what the author of the MP3 provided. In fact, some MP3s may not have any information in their ID3 tag at all.) Additional information on the ID3 tag can be found at http://www.id3.org/id3v1.html.
