Chris,
Any chance of adding an option to maybe ignore the first "x" number of characters in the ID3 songname or filename when generating the song labels? The reason would be to hide the track number that I and I think many others use as part of the songname. For me, that would always be two digits and a space, but I'm guessing people have libraries with dashes, or three digit numbers, etc.
Also, have you noticed that the fidelity is just a tad better when the program has the focus than when it's in the background? Sounds like it to me. I found that interesting....not a huge difference but it is a slightly fuller sound when it's given more resources, it seems.

However, "02-Stairway To Heaven" will not be changed because there is no space after the dash. Likewise, "02 Stairway To Heaven" will not be changed because there is no dash.

Understood. Thanks for reminding me. I appreciate all the hard work you've put in to making your program world-class.
If only the original ID3 tag fields were longer. I went with the "01 Stairway to Heaven" philosophy because that's three characters for the track number. "01 - Stairway to Heaven" uses up 5 characters for the track number out of the woefully inadequate 30 characters available.

I looked into using the filename and setting the 'use ID3 tag's' kind of option to 'false', but quickly saw that the artist field gets to be a problem then. Things I store in Genre\Artist\Album end up with the Genre as the artist field. Compilation albums...no way. So I'll stick with the ID3 tags.
I'll slowly convert to the "01 - Stairway To Heaven" for both the ID3 songname and the file name. It seems to be more standard. I'll live with more truncation on the songnames in the long run.
