I know I&#8217;ve been saying this for the past year and a half, but I am still working on the library.  I have made so many changes to it that it is totally different from what I started with.  I was doing a lot of stupid things and I thought to my self &#8220;WTF [...]]]></description>

I just did a major re-write to my library.  The code is very optimized now.  Before I had a lot of unneeded functions, objects, and buffers (OMG!).  I was able to knock out a lot of stuff.  The only CPU intensive aspect of the library is detecting the MPEG Audio [...]]]></description>
