I must be one of the few tagging seriously enough that even ID3v2 doesn't
suit me...  At least winamp's id3v2 tagger...  Where do I put the
poet that wrote the lyrics?  Good that vorbis has flexible tagging.

I think you can set the mp3 input plugin to put the track number into the
generated title (`%N' or something).  Add it in front of the titles,
re-read them (Select all, then Ctrl-Alt-E (maybe Ctrl-Shift-E)), then sort
by "title".  Then you can remove them, and re-read again if you don't wnat
to see them ;-).  Not the ideal solution but can't be much better if ou
let every plugin handle metadata alone.
