NAME

       Audio::File::Tag - abstracts the tag of an audio file

DESCRIPTION

       Audio::File::Tag is the base class for other file format independant tag classes like
       Audio::File::Flac::Tag or Audio::File::Ogg::Tag. You shouldn't use this class yourself
       exept you're writing an own file format dependant subclass.

METHODS

   new
       Constructor. Creates a new Audio::File::Tag object. You shouldn't use this method
       yourself. It is called by the filetype-dependant subclasses of Audio::File::Type
       automatically.

   init
       Initializes the object. It's called by the constructor and empty by default.  It's ought
       to be overwritten by subclasses.

   title
       Using title() you can get or set the tags title field. If called without any argument
       it'll return the current content of the title field. If you call title() with an scalar
       argument it will set the title field to what the argument contains. The methods artist(),
       album(), comment(), genre(), year(), track() and total() are called in the same way.

   artist
       Set/get the artist field in the files tag.

   album
       Set/get the album field in the files tag.

   comment
       Set/get the comment field in the files tag.

   genre
       Set/get the genre field in the files tag.

   year
       Set/get the year field in the files tag.

   track
       Set/get the track field in the files tag.

   total
       Set/get the total number of tracks.

   all
       Set/get all tags. To set the tags pass a hash reference with the names of the tags as keys
       and the tag values as hash values. Returns a hash reference if no argument is specified.

   is_empty
       Returns whether all tag fields are empty or not.

   save
       Saves the changed tag information. Not yet implemented.

TODO

       Implement writing tags
