GetID3 Token integration [#514084]

Hi,

I've come across two requests for this kind of integration with FileField Paths in the last couple of weeks (#498270: FileField id3 tag use & #513546: Make ID3 Tag information available as tokens), but really it's not something that should be done in FileFeild Paths would do, but something that getID() could and should.

It's a fairly easy thing to do, information can be found at http://drupal.org/node/307140.
If I have some extra time up my sleeve I will look at giving it shot myself.

Cheers,
Deciphered.

I've delved into this a bit more, and it is now my opinion that it may not be getID3()'s responsibility either, but the responsibility of the module requiring getID3().

One example of this would be how the Audio module provides ID3 information tokens.

However, it would be nice to have tokens available to any module using getID3(), such as FileField Meta.

Hmmm, neat idea. So, if you were using FileField Paths and GetID3 provided Tokens for the file fields, then when you upload an MP3, it could organize them in the artist's directory. I like it a lot, but you're right, this would belong in the FileField Meta module.
