That's one of the things that has always driven me crazy with Naptser...
for a service devoted entirely to sharing MP3 files, it could stand to do
an awful lot more in the way of exploiting the file format to its fullest.
I mean... hello? ID3 tags? I don't name the files on my hard drive
according to the ARTIST-TRACK TITLE.MP3 convention because I already *know*
what I've put there, and don't need to be reminded that "Disembody" is a
Die Warzau b-side. Why shouldn't it be possible to search *that*
information, at least as an interim step towards something that can be as
obsessively annotated as, say, a CDDB2 record?
