Also, you wouldn't have any benefit: parsing is a lot more work, it wouldn't work as well, and it doesn't provide extra features. It would only be a bit faster, and that only matters when you have to process a lot of files, which shouldn't happen a lot. Note that when you enable the use of the web service (enabled by default), that files will be matched by their filename if you didn't change the original filename.</blockquote>
