I agree with the id3v2 tag idea, though they're rarely used at
present. I seldom see them on tracks I download, and have only ever
used id3v1 tags on my own original music and ripped tracks due to
most of my hardware players not supporting v2. (Obviously this is
changing, though the majority of mp3 players (i.e. iPods) still don't
support them.) But unless you're distributing an entire album in one
archive, I think putting the songs into archives with license files
is too awkward.
Either way will prevent music spiders from serving up your music
without licensing information, though.
