This RFE proposes the following methods to be added:

Methods:
Map<String,Object> AudioFileFormat.properties()
Object AudioFileFormat.getProperty(String key)


The current AudioFileFormat class makes it impossible to account for meta data included in audio files, e.g. the ID3 tag in mp3 files or the LIST chunk in WAVE files. So, as an example, an mp3 file's AudioFileFormat might include these properties:
key="auhor", value="Florian Bomers"
key="title", value="My Life"
etc.
It is up to the implementor to properly document the keys and their values.

The same applies to MidiFileFormat.
