Details such as track number, song title and artist are stored in what’s called the file’s ID3 tag. Normally, this information is downloaded automatically from the internet when you copy a music CD to your computer. However, on rare occasions the online database may not have any information on your particular CD, and sometimes it might just be plain wrong. In this case, you’ll need to edit the ID3 tag yourself to ensure that the information is correct. There are numerous ID3 tag editors available for download, but most music management programs have a basic editor already built-in. For example, right-clicking the track in iTunes, then clicking Get Info will take you to the ID3 tag info boxes. Similarly, in Windows Media Player 10, you can right-click the track then hit Advanced Tag Editor, and you’ll be on the right track there too.
