[cc-community] How Does Google Index CC-friendly MP3s?

Hi all,

I'm publishing MP3s on my website for indexing by CC-friendly search 
engines.  How does this work?  Neither Google nor Yahoo! describes 
clearly what must be done to get an MP3 audio file CC-indexed.  Does 
Google, for example, read the MP3 audio file's ID3 frames?  Or, does 
Google index the URN:SHA1 tag (RDFa) embedded in your MP3 audio file's 
official download page?

I've studied the example RDFa code fragment on 
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Nonweb_Tagging but am confused by the 
clarifying statement, "This fragment includes the statement 
<urn:sha1:MSMBC5VE...."  Huh?!  No it doesn't!  Is there a typo here or 
am I misunderstanding something?

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you so much!
