If you submit your music to a reviewer or to a terrestrial or internet radio station.If you want to join NARAS, the Recording Academy (I wrote about the Grammy submission process as well as some of the less obvious benefits of belonging to the Academy earlier this year), you need credits on 12 released songs listed in the Allmusic database (either as a songwriter or performer).You probably will be giving the publisher a wav file at some point, but mp3s are often used for pitching your song, such as for sites like MusicXRay or TAXI.

Your metadata must be entered properly in the publisher’s database in order for your royalties to be paid to them and to you.

This is important because any music professional will use those databases to check you out and verify your claim to authorship or performance credit.

Metadata has nothing to do with the file name of the mp3, it’s information that you need a music player or special editor to view and/or change. Metadata appears in iTunes when you load up your music track – hopefully instead of the dreaded “Unknown Artist: and “Track 1″.
