Remarks
Retrieves a tag string from the loaded sound. The availability of Tag strings and their total number can be checked using the IsTagAvailable method.
Due to their format, this method cannot be used with ID3V1 and ID3V2 Tags.
The availability of this information requires a prior call to the ReadSoundInfo method.
Details about the use of Tags and a sample of use of this method can be found on the How to read TAG information in sound files and How to retrieve basic TAG information from the sound loaded into a player tutorials.
