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 . . . .
Not every sound file can incorporate tags -- for instance, WAV files don't support tags -- but tags are part of the specification for the MP3 file format. They can be edited with the appropriate software.
