i discovered ID3 tags by mere chance a year or so ago, downloading material thru slsk. i still use the last win98se-compatible winamp version, and, on that particular ocassion, i noticed that the titles of an old, out-of-catalog 1971 chilean lp didn't match. then i observed the "wiew file info" command and bingo!: there they were...

so maybe our fellow musical friends don't know them either...
