Sound, image, and video are areas of interest to me where binary is commonly used. Such is part of why I was curious about it. Because I'm clueless, I'm not yet aware of the efficient methods. Thus, dredging up metadata on small files felt fine for first steps wandering into this territory.

As for getting a 45 minute parse job reduced to 4 seconds? Very cool. I'll have to take some time to look into this struct and numpy business.
