How to edit songs info on iPhone? The following article will show you a step-by-step guide for editing songs info.

iPhone, as the most popular phone all around the world, is also a high-quality music player. Users can download music from iTunes store or transfer music from PC to iPhone for some offline auditory experience. When you download songs into iTunes, usually it came with all kinds of information, like artist, name, album name and more. This information is called metadata, also as known as ID3 tags.

Metadata is useful for obvious things like knowing the name of the song, but iTunes also uses it for categorizing music, knowing when two songs are part of the same album, and for some settings when syncing iPhones and iPods. Needless to say, it's pretty important.
