Yes, tags are what things like Squeezecenter and itunes read, filenames
they couldn't care less about.

mp3tag is great, but not easy to use for a beginner.  If you're looking
at the files in mp3tag and there's no info listed anywhere apart from
the filename you're buggered for doing a filename to tag action.  The
only thing you could do is click filename to tag and enter "%dummy%
%dummy% %track%" (without the quotes) and that'll populate your track
tags.  Relies on every filename being of a consistent format.

However!  you can do something.  top of the mp3tag screen you'll see
TAG SOURCES menu.  Click that, click amazon.com and enter the name of
the album you're tagging in there.  you;ll then get a list of their
entries for that album name.  little bit of trial and error, but you
should be able to pick up most of the tags this way.  you've always got
an undo function, remember.

and to make entries in the tag panel (left of your screen) for one file
at a time just type what you need (by default it shows you the basic
tags ie artist, year, genre etc - just start with those) and then click
save.
