Remarks
ID3v1 tags are located at the end of the file, so when streaming an MPEG file with ID3v1 tags from the internet, the tags will not be available until the download is complete. A BASS_SYNC_DOWNLOAD sync can be set via BASS_ChannelSetSync(Int32, BASSSync, Int64, SYNCPROC, IntPtr), to be informed of when the download is complete.

In addition you might also use the BassTags class, which provides extended TAG reading support.
