Subject: Reading mp3 files

I've been writing some simple music collection management scripts in ruby 
lately, and it seems to be going well.  I found ruby id3 with a google search, 
it while not perfect it seems to meet my needs.  However, I can't seem to find 
any ruby library/class that will help me get information out of mp3/ogg/etc. 
files that is not ID3.  For example I would like to examine any mp3 file and 
determine its bitrate and playtime. Is there a utility to give me this 
functionality or am I going to have to write a wrapper for a C library?

Thanks,

Scott
