MP3File :: read - Read MP3 file

The function reads the header for the MP3 file. After reading the header, header information may be provided by calling header() .

Usually, the function is called implicitly, when opening the MP3 file ( open() ). In order to refresh date, one may also call the function explicitly. This will, however, overwrite the data in the referenced MP3Header object. In order to save existing header data, one may create a header copy.
