getting mp3s ready for prime time

[JES]

Okay, so I've got low and high bandwidth version of a few of my band's songs ready to upload to my new band site. I pulled them off the CD and then extracted them in Itunes on my Mac. But here's a question. When I play them on my windows computer (this one here), there's no band information, etc. How do I get Windows Media Player (or Realplayer, for that matter) to show my band's name, the song name and a copyright in the "clip" "author" and "copyright" regions? OR, where else can I store copyright info, etc. so that if people download my file and trade it, the recipients will at least know who it is?

Thanks.

ID3 tags are used to store that information in MP3 files. There may be a way to tag the files in Itunes (I never liked that app so I don't know). There are lots of little utilities for the Mac that can edit them - try searching for 'ID3' at http://www.versiontracker.com or http://www.macupdate.com.
