Suggest implementing a way to obtain metadata without instantiating a media player
something like https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaMetadataRetriever

the existing MediaPlayer are just a player, it would be nice to have a separate abstraction for reading metadata, which shall be more lightweight than a full MediaPlayer instance.
it would be useful to build a media playlist for the media player.
