I only checked today's YourClassical download, but I'm sure that the following holds true for the rest of them. The name of the file tells you almost nothing. I checked "Properties" (to do it, on the Chrome browser and maybe others, you right click) and there was almost nothing there, either
I start by ALWAYS changing the name of the file - I use the artist or composer's name, a dash, then the piece name (album first if there is one). Then, I can at least look it up if I get interested in fixing the ID Tags. Which I sometimes do, but not on all the freebies, as some get deleted, eventually.

I then move music to one of two directories (one local, the other on my NAS) and every time I start Media Monkey it scans those directories (and iTunes, etc) to see if there is anything new. If there is, it gets added to its database. I then use Media Monkey to search for music, just as I use Calibre for books.
