Default Correcting crappy file info?

I see files all the time with incorrect data. For example, here's a bit of silliness I recently ran across

Donna Summers: I Will Survive, 80's pop

First, it's Donna Summer, not Summers, I Will Survive is in fact performed by Gloria Gaynor, and it's a 70's disco song, not 80's pop.

Obviously, this bad description problem can be found all over the place, not just song titles.

So there are a few things in this one file that need to be fixed, just as there would be in all sorts of other files. Although I can correct the info in my Mac's (OS X 10.4) iTunes (v 5.0.1) to the proper stuff, if I then look at this same file in LimeWire's Library, it still has the bad info. I assume the original person whop created the file had access to this embedded data (and fudged it) but I suspect there must be SOME way of changing it...

How do I make corrections to the file's metadata (I presume) in the Library so that anyone else checking for Gloria Gaynor's disco tune I Will Survive will find this file since it still says it's an 80's Donna Summers song?
