Why

Do so many companies seem to feel the need to upgrade their products into unusability?

I might have misunderstood, I thought by 'internal file info' you meant something other than the filename and extension. If it's just being picky about the filename itself then that's just dumb.

I don't know what the real terms are, which is the problem. Sorry.

On an mp3, I right click -> properties -> details. Winamp used to use what was in the File Name section at the bottom of that screen, which was easily editable by just changing the filename in Windows Explorer. Now Winamp pulls what's in Description instead, and you can't change that -- or at least I have no idea how -- without right clicking and editing the details screen manually on each file.

When I rip a file or download after buying it, Description is already filled in with whatever the company put in there, which is often not what I want at all.
