+  	<p>Digital music contains metadata that stores information in the 
+  	music file including the artist, album, year recorded, genre and more.
+  	Almost all music purchased over the internet will have the metadata
+  	already embedded and if you import music from CDs Banshee will include
+  	the metadata when ripping the CD if available.  For more information
+  	on ripping CDs and including the metadata see the 
+  	<link type="guide" xref="import"/>.</p>
+  	
+  	<p>Popular metadata formats are ID3v1 and ID3v2 for MP3 files and
+  	x for OGG Vorbis files.</p>
