No metadata will lead to a group consisting of all the tracks without metadata. 
Incorrect metadata will probably lead to tracks being in a group of their own. 
If you choose to skip those, of course, then they will stay where they were.

That's a reasonable idea, yes! You could skip those left-overs and then import 
them later in a second pass. But you might want to use the `move` option, which 
will mean that the tracks you skip will be "left behind" so you can find them 
easily.
