Perhaps this is related to the general iTunes incompatibility
issues...anyway mp3's that I encode under iTunes, that have
correct id3 tags in there, show up incorrect when viewing in
JavaHMO. Say I have the following song I ripped with iTunes:

\Users\tom\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\R\Roy Orbison\16 Greatest
Hits\10 Working For The Man.mp3

id3 tags should be:

song: Working For The Man
artist: Roy Orbison
album: 16 Greatest Hits

But what actually shows up is:

song: 10 Working For The Man
artist: 10 Working For The Man
album: unknown

Older mp3's that I created on a PC with other ripper/encoders show
up with correct id3 tags. So I guess is it possible for this to be
fixed, or as another option, would it be possible to have an option
to use directory names instead of the id3 tags? For people who
keep their iTunes music folder organized by artist/album name this
might work, song title is the filename, album is the parent
directory, artist is two directories up.

Anyway thanx again for a great piece of software, even with this
issue it is tons more useful than the official solution.
