I released a new hook for handling audio metadata. It parses ID3 tags (duration, bitrate, year, etc.) directly from the file stream on upload.

**Key Feature:** It works with S3 storage without downloading the entire file to the local disk first. It reads only the necessary chunks, which saves bandwidth and processing time for large libraries.

- **NPM:** `npm install directus-extension-audio-metadata-trigger`

- **Repo:** [https://github.com/](https://github.com/)tresero/directus-extension-audio-metadata-trigger

It’s open source and MIT licensed. Hope it helps anyone building a music archive or podcast manager.
