■ID3 tag
 This is a method of embed-
ding track-related information 
in an MP3 file. This embed-
ded information can include 
the track number, track title, 
the artist’s name, the album 
title, the music genre, the year 
of production, comments, 
cover art and other data. The 
contents can be freely edited 
using software with ID3 tag 
editing functions. Although 
the tags are restricted to a 
number of characters, the 
information can be viewed 
when the track is played back.
■WMA tag
 WMA files can contain a 
WMA tag that is used in the 
same way as an ID3 tag. 
WMA tags carry information 
such as track title and artist 
name.
■MP3
 MP3 is an audio compression 
standard determined by a 
working group (MPEG) of the 
ISO (International Standard 
Organization). MP3 com-
presses audio data to about 
1/10 the size of that on con-
ventional discs.
