Installing a php module (even if it's as easy as yum install or apt-get install) is limited to what you get from the library. Also, if the ID3 change (like upgrading to a different version) you will have to wait for the library to be updated and re-install it again (unless you want to modify yourself of course).

The PHP library (yes might be a little slower) can be very useful when ID tag are upgraded or modified. You can easily change the PHP code to match what you need and rapidly be able to mange your music library.
