Remarks

Check supported formats for info tag support. Some formats can support some sort of "Info tags", but not all.

libZPlay library implements "ID3 tag" interface to different info tags (VORBIS comment, RIFF Info, ...). So, you can retrieve ID3 informations from different streams (mp3, ogg, flac, wav) because library will convert "format specific tag" to ID3 tag info.

Note:

This function can retrieve attached picture from info tag. If you need to draw this picture on screen, set fDecodeEmbededPicture parameter to true to decode attached picture into Bitmap class. See TID3PictureW.

Note: If you juste need ID3 data from file, use LoadFileID3ExW.
