Renaming the files is a good idea, though. If something happens and the ID data gets wiped, you'll still know what it is. You can always dig up the rest of the info from that. |
I just re-read your post. For some reason, it didn't hit me the first time that I read it. Is there ID info embedded in every sound file? If so, it must be hidden. I am vaguely familiar with exif files in digital photos, which are embedded in all of them (I suppose, unless there is a way to disable it) somehow. They contain metadata. But I suppose that it takes special equipment and/or software to reveal the info? How about with sound files if they have info embedded in them? It seems like it will take something like that for me to go back now and identify the music files that I've already downloaded . . . . I can't see any other practical way . . . .
