    That has nothing to do with windows file summary, and everything to do with the mp3 file format, which stores information such as the title. – JB Nizet Sep 14 '14 at 12:37

    See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5922622/whats-this-album-artist-tag-itunes-uses-any-way-to-set-it-using-java (Not an exact duplicate, because it changes the *album*. However, it contains a link to the full list of tags.) – Jongware Sep 14 '14 at 12:42

The title that is shown in the media player application is in a meta data format that is special for mp3 files, called ID3 tag. It is not a file system property.

There are a libraries that can read and write those tags. I have found a few but have no idea how well they work.
