Hint: Information about your music, including Son g Name, Artist, Album, and Genre

when you browse by that data category. If you need to edit your ID3 tags, or if you are
not satisfied with the description of genres (or other data) assigned to you r music file, it

jukebox programs. (In iTunes, select the file(s ) to edit, click on File/Get info, then click on
