Ah, here is the deepest issue, I think: You see MB as a something which
should be useful in a normal listening context. I consider it as a database
about music (although I agree it is still embryonic). Not much about
listening in my position. You see MB as a way to feed Picard which will in
it's turn tag your files. I seldom listen to music when I am using MB, and I
almost never watch the track titles when I listen to music. I even
deliberately avoid tagging many of my mp3 because I don't want to be biased
by knowledge. So if  looked at the track title, all I would read would be
the track number. I would still be a MB user, even if Picard did not exist,
although I am glad Picard exists.
