Next possible way of retrieving ID3Tag information is by right clicking on a file in the browser
and selecting File Info. The below dialog displays the database stored information along with
the ID3Tag information that is retrievable.
Under each field with a button will have the read ID3Tag info next to it. Click on the button
to copy that data into the VirtualDJ data field. This data will be stored and used by the
VirtualDJ database. The next to the FileName field is used to parse the file name into the
Artist and Title.
