Creative Commons has provided a tool, ccLookup, which allows you to drop an MP3 file onto the program icon (or a running window) in order to verify an embedded CC claim, if any. The free download is available for both Mac OS X and Windows.
Creative Commons has had a long-standing specification for embedding licenses in MP3 audio files which requires two pieces of information: a license claim embeddded in the audio file, and verification metadata hosted on a web page. While command-line tools for looking up the verification metadata have been available for a while, the ccLookup tool provides for an easier drag and drop solution for examining an embedded claim.
