I've been moving my music files onto my new computer. Of course, these older
files don't have any metadata attached to them (Artists, Album, Title, etc.).
I realize that I'm able to manually alter these fields with the the Details
Pane in Windows Explorer or through Windows Media Player.

However, I'd rather write a script to do most of the work for me. All my
filenames are in the format "ArtistName - SongTitle.mp3", so if I knew the
_exact_ format the metadata is stored in and where it is stored, I'd be able
to write the script. Has this information been released? If so, could I be
provided with a link? All my searches have turned up dry thus far.

Thanks in advance.

I believe MusicBrainz (?) already does this for you.
Otherwise, MSDN would be your first stop. =)
