how can i read taginfo from internal mp3? It’s easy if I load external mp3 files, but doesn’t work for mp3 from my library!

CODE:  
var mymusic:Sound = new mymp3(); //mymusic = new var and mymp3 the class of mp3 file in library  
mymusic.addEventListener(Event.ID3, getID3);  
mymusic.play(); //it really plays

function getID3(Event):void{  
var showtag:ID3Info = mymusic.id3;

trace(showtag.id3.artist);//nothing happens  
}

Thank You
