    \class QMetaDataReaderControl

    \ingroup multimedia-serv

    \preliminary

    \brief The QMetaDataReaderControl class provides read access to the

    meta-data of a QMediaService's media.

    If a QMediaService can provide read or write access to the meta-data of

    its current media it will implement QMetaDataReaderControl.  This control

    provides functions for both retrieving and setting meta-data values.

    Meta-data may be addressed by the well defined keys in the

    QtMultimedia::MetaData enumeration using the metaData() functions, or by

    string keys using the extendedMetaData() functions.

    The functionality provided by this control is exposed to application

    code by the meta-data members of QMediaObject, and so meta-data access

    is potentially available in any of the media object classes.  Any media

    service may implement QMetaDataReaderControl.

    The interface name of QMetaDataReaderControl is

    \c com.nokia.Qt.QMetaDataReaderControl/1.0 as defined in

    QMetaDataReaderControl_iid.

    \sa QMediaService::requestControl(), QMediaObject
