Volume label

Do exists a way to detect a volume label of a disk?
I've found the way to do this using WMI (System.Management) or winapi function. The second solution is principal non-portable in future, the first one require service WMI to work on client (for sure it's not a guarantee to be allways running). I do not want to include in my application logic, that will attempt to start that service before determining logical drive volume label.

If no way to read volume label - I'll try a combination of both methods, but the most question is why is this so? Does other platforms (not MS) do not operate (at informative level) with volume label?

Thanks
