DESCRIPTION

METHODS

   as_string
           my $str = $song->as_string( [$format] );

       Return a string representing $song. If $format is specified, use it to format the string.
       Otherwise, the string returned will be:

       either "album = track = artist = title"
       or "artist = title"
       or "title"
       or "file"

       (in this order), depending on the existing tags of the song. The last possibility always
       exist of course, since it's a path.

       This method is also used to automatically stringify the $song.

       WARNING: the format codes are not yet definitive and may be subject to change!
