How to Format a Song Title

In the digital age, a song title needs to follow certain formatting guidelines when it appears in audio files. MP3 is the commonly used audio file format and uses a technology known as ID3. This tagging format allows a song creator to label their audio files with a song title, artist name, album name, release date and music genre. iTunes and Windows Media Player are two popular music players that follow the ID3 tagging guidelines.
