Lol: if there is anything you can say about a KPart, it's that it is
an "automatically embeddable piece of software in (among others)
Konqueror", and that it has nothing to do with Konqueror plugins.
I am writing a KPart app myself, and am starting to know the KPart
design better...
Basically, implementing a part means implementing a widget which can
show (ro/rw) some sort of document to the user, giving it some
actions, and telling Konqueror (and other apps) where to find it, with
a desktop file such as the one in the app...  Plugins are _totally_
different...
I don't see the point of a ID3 part though, unless you find some users
who never want to listen to a song when they click on it, but want to
see its info...
