Drupal 6 Install documentation [#1139716]

Saying in the getID3() install documentation:

Unzip the contents of the zip file into sites/all/modules/getid3/ so that write.php is located in sites/all/libraries/getid3/getid3/

Shouldn't it be "Unzip the contents of the zip file into sites/all/libraries/getid3/" ?

You can do it that way and change the path removing one of the getid3's from the path in the settings screen. Ultimately I think it was originally done this way before the libraries module was implemented thus the path would have been sites/all/modules/getid3/ and the library would have gone in at sites/all/libraries/getid3/getid3

It may have been kept with the double getid3 in the path for consistency in the D6 versions. There is also a possibility it was left this way because of the way the getid3 library is packaged. Since it already contains a getid3 folder which isn't controlled by developers of the drupal getid3.module.
