Here is a neat little program called steghide.

What is does is allow you to hide some information within images and audio files. It is great for us who lack the photographic memory needed to remember complex passwords. With this program you can store important data relatively safely, at your clients or customers sites or on your computer as a backup and not have to worry about someone stealing passwords via a cursory look over the system. The password is really stored in plain sight.  

For down loading the application: http://steghide.sourceforge.net

...and for adding a nice gui check out the following: http://sourceforge.net/projects/steghideui

You can still view and listen to the files that have the data attached. Don't worry no programs can be run from this storage method. The program is supported on both Windows and Linux.
