Creative Commons supplies a free GUI application that marks multimedia
files with CC licenses.  With MP3s it embeds the license in ID3 tags,
but at the time I tried it on my own songs, it didn't know about
Vorbis comments.  Does it now?

The other thing it did was create RDF descriptions of the CC-licensed
works, that included hashes of the track data.  However, I didn't feel
that this was quite what one wanted, as it meant that only perfect
copies of the songs would still have licenses attached.  If one were
to transcode a track it wouldn't have the same hash.
