Retrieving properties of a file name

My goal is to write a program in C# that will take the Artist and Title of
an MP3 file and change the name of the file to a concatenated combination of
the two. In order to do this, I am trying to find the correct property to
implement. I have found information about the file name itself and the
extensions (among other things), but not specific details about an
individual file.

In case what I am explaining may seem somewhat vague, basically, in Windows
XP, you can right-click on a file and retrieve the properties of that file.
In addition, certain files that XP recognizes as having distinct traits will
respectively have their own properties available for modification in a tab
called "Summary", according to the file's extension. If a file is a text
document (of file extension .txt), it will make available fields like Title,
Subject, Category, Keyword, Comments, etc. What I am referring to can be
accessed by clicking a tab called "Summary" and a button called "Advanced",
after gaining access to the file's properties.

If anyone can help me with this, please let me know...Thanks.
