i'm no techy by any means, but it doesnt seem possible to have that kind of "tracking app" in a mp3 file. mp3s are compressed AUDIO files, anything else other than audio would change the file type...right?

Also, isn't that an invasion of privacy?

Lol, i need a computer scientist and a lawyer for these two.
