Allow all tags which can be retrieved from the player to be used

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem? (hmm, how can I put this in 3 steps?)
1. Install the plug in
2. Configure
3. Look for a year, format, bitrate tag...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The year of the track should be there
The Format (ogg, mp3 etc)
The bit rate should be an option

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.4.2

Please provide any additional information below.

Kinda geeky, but it's something I'd like to use :-)

It's so good that this plugin has a developer again.
By the way, I like to see "Genre" as well

0.5.0 contains basic support for this

"{%tag}" in format string represents an arbitrary tag. Tags available may vary 
by
player and source. 

There's no mechanism yet for looking at the list of tags at the moment, you'll 
have
to open the debug window to see what is available.  I don't really have a good 
idea
of how to present that information yet.

I also need to see if anything needs to be done to standardize the names of 
some of
the more useful and common tags, as certain players occassionaly use odd names 
for
something.

Oops, I mean "%{tag}", of course, so e.g. %{year}, %{format}, %{bitrate} etc.

Note that pidgin-musictracker is at the mercy of the information we can get 
from the
player; some methods of communicating with the player make it impossible for us 
to
get the suggested data items; such a date items may not always exist (for e.g. 
if you
are listening to streamed audio)

version

Can the option be added to see the "Now Playing" tag?
when i listen to internet radio (through vlc) the artist and title info is 
filled with the radiostation info, but the artist info i want to be shown is 
found in the "now playing" tag...
