Update MP3 Tag version & File kind displayed

[Bruce]

Update MP3 Tag version & File kind displayed in preview drawer.

Currently (PF 3.01) only shows MP3 tag info if it is ID3 v1.x. However, that is a rather old standard, with limited data space, and it's genres list small and outdated (See www.id3.org/easy.html ).
But, even MORE importantly, iTunes (as of v4.01) encodes its tags in ID3 v2.2, not in v1.x . (ITune's default is v2.2, but it will update existing v2.3 or 2.4 tags). Thus, songs I have encoded recently via iTunes 4 from my CD's (into mp3 format) show no tag info at all in the preview drawer.

Also, though it shows AAC encoded files as kind=AAC audio, it does not seem to know these are mp3 music files, so again, no tag information is displayed for my encoded CD tracks when I used AAC (M4A) format.
Can the preview displayer be updated for these two newer standards?

It would be really cool if you could actually edit the ID3 tags in the get info window.

We're planning some really cool functionality in the get info / preview feature of Path Finder, including contextual information display (eg. select an MP3, get running time, ID3 tag info, select a digital photo and see EXIF info) and hopefully some really robust editing capabilities.

Thanks for the suggestion - we're definitely looking into it.
