Can Symphonia be used for simply reading metadata?

[kuraiji]

I know that the main page mentions "Read most metadata and tagging formats", but would this library be overkill for simply reading metadata?

Hi @kuraiji,

I think Symphonia would be a bit overkill if you just need to read the metadata. Check out lofty-rs instead which looks like a perfect fit for your use-case.

Symphonia may be useful if you want additional information such as track listings and duration (if not written to the tag).
