Are the Genre, Artist, Album categories I see in PC Music Library, ID3 tags too?
Although the above categories share the same names as some of the ID3 tags in a MP3 file, they are not the same. In the PC Music Library, the Genre, Artist and Album information of each track are stored in a media database, which is proprietary to Creative MediaSource. This field information is not embedded in the MP3 files. With track information such as genre, artist and album, music management and searching is more efficient and flexible. However, Creative MediaSource can read the ID3 tags already available in your MP3 files to tag the PC Music Library categories during importing. Conversely, any changes you make in Creative MediaSource’s library categories will be replicated in the MP3 file’s ID3 tags.
