Default How does Audio Search Work: IE How to get more hits on my files?

I've got some DJ mixes to share and wonder how does the search look for files on the network?

These are mp3 audio files.

1) Firstly I went into the LIBRARY tab and used the DESCRIBE button to change the information here under the AUDIO tab. Figured that Limewire rights some info to the mp3 data tags for searching.

But since I've finally becoming a digital DJ after 20years with vinyl, I start encountering the whole mp3 tags things. Being able to store Album art, lyrics, artist, bpm, note and other meta data.......it got me thinking that well maybe Limewire doesn't use the standard mp3 data tags and encodes it's own meta data (which is what I understand Traktor is doing with my tracks) into the mp3 file.

2) So then I decide to edit the mp3 tags using an mp3 editor program.
I change and add to the Title, Artist and Album information for each file.
Quit the program, Restart Computer, Open Limewire, Refresh, wait for the red to turn to blue. Click a file. Check the description and now there's nothing there.

So have I lost my mp3 tagging?
Have I lost my Limewire tagging?

Which is the way to go?
I'm assuming the Limewire tagging will be the best?

thanks.
I've always wondered about this.

thnks Mrph
