/**
 * Get Meta Data
 * by Damien Di Fede.
 *  
 * This sketch demonstrates how to use the <code>getMetaData</code> 
 * method of <code>AudioPlayer</code>. This method is also available 
 * for <code>AudioSnippet</code> and <code>AudioSample</code>. 
 * You should use this method when you want to retrieve metadata 
 * about a file that you have loaded, like ID3 tags from an mp3 file. 
 * If you load WAV file or other non-tagged file, most of the metadata 
 * will be empty, but you will still have information like the filename 
 * and the length.
 * <p>
