How to Change a Song's Metadata With Zune

The Zune media player is more than an audio player--the device also plays videos and displays pictures in a slideshow format. The digital media player, manufactured by Microsoft, also lets you modify the name, artist and other information, known as metadata, connected with the songs and other files loaded on the player. The metadata displays while the song, video or other media plays on the Zune device.
