Warning
This package waas forked from wapmorgan/MediaFile and adapted for my personal preference and use. I do not recommend using this package in your project, but use the original project wapmorgan/MediaFile

Why not using getID3?
getID3 library is very popular and has a lot of features, but it's old and too slow.
