Metadata (also known as ID3 tags for MP3 files) is information
               (such as title, artist, album, genre etc.) that is stored inside the
               song file
               This is often different from the name of the file itself. In order
               to avoid confusion at the competition music table, we ask
               coaches to ensure that the title of the song file, and the ID3 tag
               title of the song file are the same
               To do this on Windows PC:
Metadata/
               Right click on the song file > Select ‘Properties’ > Select the

               ‘Details’ tab Under the segment called ‘Description,’ change the
               value of ‘Title’ to match the file name (as per the naming
               convention outlined above)
               To do this in iTunes:
               Right click on the song file > Select ‘Get Info’ > Under the
               ‘Details’ tab, change the value of ’Song name’ to match the file
