Don't worry about feeling over your head. This tutorial assumes you have some technical understanding of MP3 files. Here's a few quick statements that hopefully will make it clear.
MP3 files contain the data that becomes your music.
MP3 files also contain data about the music data. This information is in what is termed an ID3 tag.
ID3 tags have fields. Things like artist, song name, etc. They are precisely named.
ID3 tags are embedded in MP3 files.
Zune, iPod, and other media players use the ID3 tag to display information about the song being played.
MP3Tag allows you edit the ID3 tag within the MP3 file.
MP3Tag does not care if you use that MP3 file in Zune, Windows Media player, or iTunes. It only deals with editing the MP3 file.
When you change the values of the ID3 tags in MP3Tag, the change is written immediately to the MP3 file.
The next time you load the MP3 in another program, you will see the change you made.
Some other points:
When you change the columns in MP3Tag, they will be remembered next time you open the program. (That might be what you mean by settings).
An ID3 tag may have zero, one, or more fields in it. If the field does not already exist, you can add a new one. It does not matter in what order you add them.
If you have any other questions, just ask. Don't give up. You'll get familiar with it eventually.
