+              Read "comments" (i.e. key-value pairs) from the file
+              specified by "URI".  This "URI" can be a path relative
+              to the music directory or a URL in the form
+              "file:///foo/bar.ogg".
+            </para>

+              The response consists of lines in the form "KEY: VALUE".
+              Comments with suspicious characters (e.g. newlines) are
+              ignored silently.

+              The meaning of these depends on the codec, and not all
+              decoder plugins support it.  For example, on Ogg files,
+              this lists the Vorbis comments.
