If you have an MP3 player (WinAmp, XMMS, iTunes) that can read them 
they give you a bunch of info on the song and the info is stored within 
the MP3 file. Basically it's Artist, Album, Song, Year, and a bunch of 
other stuff, ID3v2 is the same but supports longer song and artist 
names and some other fields of info.

More info here: http://www.id3.org/

If you have a cool gadget like an LCD screen you can display the MP3's 
ID3 info on that too: http://www.scootz.net/gallery/lcdscreen/aas
