What are ID3 Tags all about?
When you play a music file in your favorite music player, or in your portable media player the track name, album, artist, lyrics gets displayed. You can search the songs with artists, album names.

The answer is straight forward; this metadata about the audio track is stored inside the audio file itself. The different audio files need different codecs. Different audio format files also have different such metadata systems. For example The Vorbis comments, APE tag, ID3 tags etc.
