How to Apply a Record Label Name

The information that is embedded in music files is referred to as the "Tag" or "ID3." These tags include information about the music file and directions on how music playing computer programs can sort them. Record label identification is one of the pieces of information that can be applied to the ID3, bonding that name to the music file. Tagging of the music file is done by the music playing program at the time of recording or import.
