The id3 tags can be changed. In iTunes, under the file menu, there's
get info or control plus i when you are on the particular track.
Fields you can edit are displayed. These tags are very inconsistent
album to album, disk to disk in a multi-disk set. For example, I
bought two cds featuring Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert. One cd had the
artists listed just this way while the next one had them listed Ronnie
Gilbert and Holly Near. iTunes, and any other program that I know of,
doesn't understand that these are the same pair so the albums were
stored each in a different artist folder. In another case, the album
name was put where the artist was listed and vice versa, so that album
did not join its mates by the same musical group. And here's the
strangest one of all so far--I have a two-cd set. One disk is Arlo
Guthree, Holly Near, Pete Seeger and Ronnie Gilbert. The second disk
is simply HARP. So the computer did not store these two disks
together. Merrill
