title: How to get all file attributes including author, title, mp3 tags, etc, in one sweep
body: <p>I would like to write all meta data (including advanced summary properties) for my files in a windows folder to a csv file.  Is there a way to collect all the attributes?  I see mp3 files have a different set of attributes compared to jpg files. (c#)</p>
  
  <p>This can also be a script (vb, perl)</p>
  
  <p>Update: by looking at libextractor (thank you) I can see this can be achieved by writing different plugins for different type of files.  I gather this meta data is not a simple collection...</p>
