    Ah ha! I finally got it. In order to label it this way I had to
force the use of id3v2 for mp3 (it's much easier in ogg). Since I'm
using lame to encode I had to use the id3v2 options. I have replaced
the file with one that is labeled (hopefully) correctly. All this legal
stuff is really strange - all I wanted to do was post a song ;-) Oh
well, you live and learn. BTW, even though I couldn't use the stuff on
the above pages, the links were invaluable. Thanks Conrad.
