Remarks
Verifies if the loaded sound contains Tag information and, in case of multi-string Tags separated by NULL characters (like OGG Vorbis), returns the number of available strings. These strings can be retrieved one by one at a later time using the GetTagString method.
Details about the use of Tags can be found inside the How to read TAG information in sound files and How to retrieve basic TAG information from the sound loaded into a player tutorials.
