They're the tags that are imbedded within an MP3 with data about the song - like the title etc.

I just cannot think of a elegant solution at this time.

But if it is about consistency it's still giving out wrong data specially since the ID3 tags could say different things.
It all makes more sense regarding your server-side issues which I am of course unaware of and are best to be managed in whichever way you seem convenient.

I don't understand why is it that they need to be changed, though. What does it matter?

Seriously? It matters because people upload files called "Untitled.mp3" just because you are picky about naming your files consistently does not mean the rest of the world does as well. It matters to me because on the server end, it's nice to know what files belong to what, furthermore it matters because of things like the podcast feed to iTunes / readers.
