/**
 ** [1] flags can be set to only use certain metadata providers, file info, database, online lookup (CDDB, etc), guessing
 **     exclude list can be use to exclude certain metatag GUIDs.  This is useful for metadata services that need to look up metadata themselves
 **     e.g. CDDB might need to get a Disc ID, media library wants to ask for info to fill itself in.  Neither services wants to have themselves
 **     be asked, and might not want a "guessing" metatag provider to be used, either.
 ** [2] these methods could technically open the file also, but we've left that out to allow for some flexibility
 **     e.g. someone might just be looking for the metaTag service name or GUID.
 ** [3] you need to close it even if you never opened it.  This allows the object to "self-destruct".  
 **     If we didn't do this, we would also have to pass back the service factory
