-## API Documentation
-
-### Overview
-
-**Node.js specific** functions to read an audio file or stream:
-1. **File Parsing**: Parse audio files directly from the filesystem using the [parseFile function](#parsefile-function)
-1. **Stream Parsing**: Parse audio metadata from a Node.js [Readable stream](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#class-streamreadable) using the [parseStream function](#parsewebstream-function).
-
-**Cross-platform** functions available to read an audio file or stream:
-
-There are multiple ways to parse (read) audio tracks:
-1. **Web Stream Parsing**: Parse audio data from a web-compatible [ReadableStream](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream/ReadableStream) using the [parseWebStream function](#parsewebstream-function).
-1. **Blob Parsing**: Parse audio metadata from a (Web API) [Blob](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/Blob) or [File](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/File) using the [parseBlob function](#parseblob-function).
-1. **Buffer Parsing**: Parse audio metadata from a [Uint8Array](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Uint8Array) or [Buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html) using the [parseBuffer function](#parsebuffer-function).
-1. **Tokenizer Parsing:** Use a custom or third-party [strtok3](https://github.com/Borewit/strtok3) `ITokenizer` to parse using the [parseFromTokenizer function](#parsefromtokenizer-function).
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Direct file access in Node.js is generally faster because it can 'jump' to various parts of the file without reading intermediate data.
-
-### Node.js specific function
-These functions are tailored for Node.js environments and leverage Node.js-specific APIs,
-making them incompatible with browser-based JavaScript engines.
+### Import music-metadata
 
-#### `parseFile` function
-
-The `parseFile` function is intended for extracting metadata from audio files on the local filesystem in a Node.js environment.
-It reads the specified file, parses its audio metadata, and returns a promise that resolves with this information.
-
-##### Syntax
-```ts
-parseFile(filePath: string, options?: IOptions): Promise<IAudioMetadata>
-```
-
-##### Parameters
-
-- `filePath`: `string`
-
-  The path to the media file from which metadata should be extracted.
-  This should be a valid path to an audio file on the local filesystem.
-
-- `options`: [IOptions](#ioptions-interface) (optional)
-
-  An optional configuration object that allows customization of the parsing process.
-  These options can include whether to calculate the file's duration, skip embedded cover art, 
-  or other parsing behaviors.
-
-##### Returns
-
-- `Promise<IAudioMetadata>`: 
-
-  A promise that resolves to an IAudioMetadata object containing metadata about the audio file.
-  The metadata includes details such as the file format, codec, duration, bit rate, and any embedded tags like album, artist, or track information.
-
-##### Usage Notes
-
-- This function is **Node.js-only** and relies on Node.js-specific APIs to access the filesystem.
-
-- For browser environments, consider using the [parseBlob](#parseblob-function) to parse [File object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File) objects.
-
-##### Example:
-
-The following example demonstrates how to use the parseFile function to read metadata from an audio file:
-```js
-import { parseFile } from 'music-metadata';
-import { inspect } from 'node:util';
-
-(async () => {
-  try {
-    const filePath = 'test/samples/MusicBrainz - Beth Hart - Sinner\'s Prayer [id3v2.3].V2.mp3';
-    const metadata = await parseFile(filePath);
-
-    // Output the parsed metadata to the console in a readable format
-    console.log(inspect(metadata, { showHidden: false, depth: null }));
-  } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Error parsing metadata:', error.message);
-  }
-})();
+Import music-metadata in JavaScript:
+```JavaScript
+const mm = require('music-metadata');
 ```
 
-#### `parseStream` function
-
-The parseStream function is used to parse metadata from an audio track provided as a Node.js [`Readable`](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#class-streamreadable) stream.
-This is particularly useful for processing audio data that is being streamed or piped from another source, such as a web server or file system.
-
-##### Syntax:
+This is how it's done in TypeScript:
 ```ts
-parseStream(stream: Readable, fileInfo?: IFileInfo | string, options?: IOptions): Promise<IAudioMetadata>
+import * as mm from 'music-metadata';
 ```
 
-##### Parameters:
+### Module Functions
 
-- `stream`: `Readable`:
-  
-  The Node.js [Readable](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#class-streamreadable) stream from which the audio data is read.
-  This stream should provide the raw audio data to be analyzed.
+There are two ways to parse (read) audio tracks:
+1) Audio (music) files can be parsed using direct file access using the [parseFile function](#parsefile)
+2) Using [Node.js streams](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html) using the [parseStream function](#parseStream).
 
-- `fileInfo`: `IFileInfo` (optional)
+Direct file access tends to be a little faster, because it can 'jump' to various parts in the file without being obliged to read intermediate data.
 
-  An object containing file-related information or a string representing the MIME-type of the audio stream.
-  The fileInfo parameter can help the parser to correctly identify the audio format and may include:
+#### parseFile function
 
-  - `mimeType`: A string representing the [MIME-type](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types) (e.g., `audio/mpeg`).
-    
-    If provided, it is assumed the streamed file content is to be the MIME-type. 
-    If not provided, the parser will attempt to determine the format based on the content of the stream.
-  
-  - `size`: The total size of the audio stream in bytes (useful for streams with a known length).
-  
-  - `path`: A string representing the file path or filename, which can also assist in determining the format.
-
-- `options`: `IOptions` (optional)
-  
-  An optional object containing additional parsing options.
-  These options allow you to customize the parsing process,
-  such as whether to calculate the duration or skip cover art extraction.
-
-##### Returns
-
-- `Promise<IAudioMetadata>`:
- 
-  A promise that resolves to an `IAudioMetadata` object containing detailed metadata about the audio stream.
-  This metadata includes information about the format, codec, duration, bitrate, and any embedded tags such as artist, album, or track information.
-
-##### Usage Notes
-- This function is only available in Node.js environments, as it relies on the [Node.js stream API](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html).
-
-##### Example:
-
-The following example demonstrates how to use the `parseStream` function to read metadata from an audio stream:
-```js
-import { parseStream } from 'music-metadata';
-import { createReadStream } from 'fs';
-
-(async () => {
-  try {
-    // Create a readable stream from a file
-    const audioStream = createReadStream('path/to/audio/file.mp3');
-
-    // Parse the metadata from the stream
-    const metadata = await parseStream(audioStream, { mimeType: 'audio/mpeg'});
-
-    // Log the parsed metadata
-    console.log(metadata);
-  } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Error parsing metadata:', error.message);
-  }
-})();
+Parses the specified file (`filePath`) and returns a promise with the metadata result (`IAudioMetadata`).
 
 ```
-
-### Cross-platform functions
-These functions are designed to be cross-platform,
-meaning it can be used in both Node.js and web browsers.
-
-#### `parseWebStream` function
-
-The parseWebStream function is used to extract metadata from an audio track provided as a web-compatible ReadableStream.

-
-  An object containing file-related information or a string representing the MIME-type of the audio stream.
-  The fileInfo parameter can help the parser to correctly identify the audio format and may include:
-
-    - `mimeType`: A string representing the [MIME-type](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types) (e.g., `audio/mpeg`).
-
-      If provided, it is assumed the streamed file content is to be the MIME-type.
-      If not provided, the parser will attempt to determine the format based on the content of the stream.
-
-    - `size`: The total size of the audio stream in bytes (useful for streams with a known length).
-
-    - `path`: A string representing the file path or filename, which can also assist in determining the format.
-
-- `options`: `IOptions` (optional)
-
-  An optional object containing additional parsing options.
-  These options allow you to customize the parsing process,
-  such as whether to calculate the duration or skip cover art extraction.
-
-##### Returns
-
-- `Promise<IAudioMetadata>`:
-
-  A promise that resolves to an `IAudioMetadata` object containing detailed metadata about the audio stream.
-  This metadata includes information about the format, codec, duration, bitrate, and any embedded tags such as artist, album, or track information.
-
-##### Example
-Here’s an example of how to use the `parseWebStream` function to extract metadata from an audio stream in a web application:
-
+Example:
 ```js
-import { parseWebStream } from 'music-metadata';
+const mm = require('music-metadata');
+const util = require('util');
 
 (async () => {
   try {
-    // Fetch the audio file
-    const response = await fetch('https://github.com/Borewit/test-audio/raw/refs/heads/master/Various%20Artists%20-%202008%20-%20netBloc%20Vol%2013%20-%20Color%20in%20a%20World%20of%20Monochrome%20%5BAAC-40%5D/1.02.%20Solid%20Ground.m4a');
-
-    // Extract the Content-Length header and convert it to a number
-    const contentLength = response.headers.get('Content-Length');
-    const size = contentLength ? parseInt(contentLength, 10) : undefined;
-
-    // Parse the metadata from the web stream
-    const metadata = await parseWebStream(response.body, {
-      mimeType: response.headers.get('Content-Type'),
-      size // Important to pass the content-length
-    });
-
-    console.log(metadata);
+    const metadata = await mm.parseFile('../music-metadata/test/samples/MusicBrainz - Beth Hart - Sinner\'s Prayer [id3v2.3].V2.mp3');
+    console.log(util.inspect(metadata, { showHidden: false, depth: null }));
   } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Error parsing metadata:', error.message);
+    console.error(error.message);
   }
 })();
 ```
 
-The example uses the [`fetch` API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API) to retrieve an audio file from a URL.
-The `response.body` provides a [`ReadableStream`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream/ReadableStream) that is then passed to `parseWebStream`.
-
-#### `parseBlob` function
+#### parseStream function
 
-Parses metadata from an audio file represented as a [Blob](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob). 
-This function is suitable for use in environments that support the ReadableStreamBYOBReader, which is **available in Node.js 20** and above.
+Parses the provided audio stream for metadata.
+It is recommended to provide the corresponding [MIME-type](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types). 
+An extension (e.g.: `.mp3`), filename or path will also work.
+If the MIME-type or filename (via `fileInfo.path`) is not provided, or not understood, music-metadata will try to derive the type from the content.
 
-##### Syntax
 ```ts
-parseBlob(blob: Blob, options?: IOptions = {}): Promise<IAudioMetadata>
+parseStream(stream: Stream.Readable, fileInfo?: IFileInfo | string, opts?: IOptions = {}): Promise<IAudioMetadata>`
 ```

+This is a low level function, reading from a [strtok3](https://github.com/Borewit/strtok3) ITokenizer interface.
+[music-metadata-browser](https://github.com/Borewit/music-metadata-browser) is depended on this function.
 
 This also enables special read modules like:

-
-##### Syntax
-```ts
-parseFromTokenizer(tokenizer: ITokenizer, options?: IOptions): Promise<IAudioMetadata>
-```
-
-##### Parameters
-- `tokenizer: ITokenizer`
-
-  An instance of an ITokenizer that provides access to the audio data.
-  The tokenizer abstracts the reading process, enabling support for various types of sources, including streams, buffers, or custom data readers.
-
-- `options`: [IOptions](#ioptions-interface) (optional)
-
-  An optional configuration object that specifies parsing options.
-
-##### Returns
-- `Promise<IAudioMetadata>`:
-
-  A promise that resolves to the metadata of the audio source, including information like the title, artist, album, and more.
-
-
-##### Example
-````js
-import { fromNodeProviderChain } from '@aws-sdk/credential-providers';
-import { S3Client } from '@aws-sdk/client-s3';
-import { makeTokenizer } from '@tokenizer/s3';
-import { parseFromTokenizer as mmParseFromTokenizer } from 'music-metadata';
-
-// Configure the S3 client
-const s3 = new S3Client({
-  region: 'eu-west-2',
-  credentials: fromNodeProviderChain(),
-});
-
-// Helper function to create a tokenizer for S3 objects
-async function makeS3TestDataTokenizer(key, options) {
-  return await makeTokenizer(s3, {
-    Bucket: 'music-metadata',
-    Key: key,
-  }, options);
-}
-
-// Function to read and log metadata from an S3 object
-async function readMetadata() {
-  try {
-    // Create a tokenizer for the specified S3 object
-    const tokenizer = await makeS3TestDataTokenizer('path/to/audio/file.mp3', { disableChunked: false });
-
-    // Parse the metadata from the tokenizer
-    const metadata = await mmParseFromTokenizer(tokenizer);
-
-    // Log the retrieved metadata
-    console.log(metadata);
-  } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Error parsing metadata:', error.message);
-  }
-}
-
-// Execute the metadata reading function
-readMetadata();

-### Handling Parse Errors
-
-`music-metadata` provides a robust and extensible error handling system with custom error classes that inherit from the standard JavaScript `Error`.
-All possible parsing errors are part of a union type `UnionOfParseErrors`, ensuring that every error scenario is accounted for in your code.
-
-#### Union of Parse Errors 
-
-All parsing errors extend from the base class `ParseError` and are included in the `UnionOfParseErrors` type:
-```ts
-export type UnionOfParseErrors =
-  | CouldNotDetermineFileTypeError
-  | UnsupportedFileTypeError
-  | UnexpectedFileContentError
-  | FieldDecodingError
-  | InternalParserError;
-```
-
-#### Error Types
- 
-- `CouldNotDetermineFileTypeError`: Raised when the file type cannot be determined.
-- `UnsupportedFileTypeError`: Raised when an unsupported file type is encountered.
-- `UnexpectedFileContentError`: Raised when the file content does not match the expected format.
-- `FieldDecodingError`: Raised when a specific field in the file cannot be decoded.
-- `InternalParserError`: Raised for internal parser errors.

-Returns a list of supported MIME-types. This may include some MIME-types which are not formally recognized.
-
-### `IOptions` Interface
-- `duration`: `boolean` (default: `false`)
-
-  When `true`, the parser will read the entire media file _if necessary_ to determine the duration.
-  This is only applicable in cases where duration cannot be reliably inferred without full file analysis.
-  Note that enabling this option **does not guarantee** that duration will be available,
-  only that the parser will attempt to calculate it when possible, even if it requires reading the full file.
-
-- `includeChapters`: `boolean` (default: `false`)
-  When `true`, the MP4 parser scans the `mdat` atom for chapters.
-
-- `mkvUseIndex`: `boolean` (default: `false`)
-
-  When `true`, the parser uses the SeekHead index in Matroska (MKV) files to skip segment and cluster elements.
-  This experimental feature can improve performance, but:
-  - Metadata not listed in the SeekHead may be skipped.
-  - If the SeekHead is missing, this option has no effect.
+### Options
+*   `duration`: default: `false`, if set to `true`, it will parse the whole media file if required to determine the duration.
+*   `observer: (update: MetadataEvent) => void;`: Will be called after each change to `common` (generic) tag, or `format` properties.
+*   `skipCovers`: default: `false`, if set to `true`, it will not return embedded cover-art (images).
+*   `skipPostHeaders? boolean` default: `false`, if set to `true`, it will not search all the entire track for additional headers. Only recommenced to use in combination with streams.
+*   `includeChapters` default: `false`, if set to `true`, it will parse chapters (currently only MP4 files). _experimental functionality_
 
-- `observer`: `(update: MetadataEvent) => void;`:
-
-  Callback function triggered when common tags or format properties are updated during parsing.
-  Allows real-time monitoring of metadata as it becomes available.
- 
-- `skipCovers`: `boolean` (default: `false`)
-
-  When `true`, embedded cover art (images) will not be extracted.
-  Useful for reducing memory and processing when cover images are unnecessary.
- 
-- `skipPostHeaders`: `boolean` (default: `false`)
-  When `true`, tag headers located at the end of the file will not be read.
-  This is particularly beneficial for streaming input, as it avoids the need to read the entire stream.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> - The `duration` option is typically included in most cases, but setting it to true ensures that the entire file is parsed if necessary to get an accurate duration.
-> - Using `mkvUseIndex` can improve performance in Matroska files, but be aware of potential side effects, such as missing metadata due to skipped elements.
-
-
-### `IAudioMetadata` interface
+Although in most cases duration is included, in some cases it requires `music-metadata` parsing the entire file.
+To enforce parsing the entire file if needed you should set `duration` to `true`.

-## CommonJS backward compatibility
-
-Using Node.js ≥ 22, which is support loading ESM module via require 
-```js
-const mm = require('music-metadata');
-```
-
-For older Node.js version < 22, you need to dynamically import **music-metadata**:
-```js
-(async () => {
-  // Dynamically loads the ESM module in a CommonJS project
-  const mm = await import('music-metadata');
-})();
+img.src = `data:${picture.format};base64,${picture.data.toString('base64')}`;
 ```
 
-For CommonJS TypeScript projects, I recommend to avoid using `commonjs` for the TypeScript compiler `module` option, 
-and either use `node16` or `nodenext`, which enable utilizing [dynamic import](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/import).
-
-If you do want to use the classic `commonjs` option, this is how you can get the _dynamic import_ to work.
-
-```js
-import {loadEsm} from 'load-esm';
-
-(async () => {
-  // Dynamically loads the ESM module in a CommonJS project
-  const mm = await loadEsm<typeof import('music-metadata')>('music-metadata');
-})();
-```
-
-When you use Node.js version ≥ 22, which supports loading ESM modules via require, this compensates for that issue.

 ## Frequently Asked Questions
 
-###  How can I traverse (a long) list of files?
+1.  How can I traverse (a long) list of files?
+
+    What is important that file parsing should be done in a sequential manner.
+    In a plain loop, due to the asynchronous character (like most JavaScript functions), it would cause all the files to run in parallel which is will cause your application to hang in no time.
+    There are multiple ways of achieving this:
+
+    1.  Using recursion
+
+        ```js
+        const mm = require('music-metadata')
+        
+        function parseFiles(audioFiles) {
+          
+          const audioFile = audioFiles.shift();
+          
+          if (audioFile) {
+            return mm.parseFile(audioFile).then(metadata => {
+              // Do great things with the metadata
+              return parseFiles(audioFiles); // process rest of the files AFTER we are finished
+            })
+          }
+          
+          return Promise.resolve();
+        }
+
