Question about WinAmp?

[Sunner]

How do I make it use the filenames instead of the ID tags for the playlist?
I have a lib of ~500 MP3's at work, but it gets a bit screwed up since some songs have labels with the song name first and artist last, while some webaddresses etc etc.

I name all the files to <artist> - <song name>, and would like Winamp to sort&amp;display them accordingly.

While winamp is runing (obviously)...Press <Ctrl> + P

Then uncheck the boxes for Read titles on demand and load...but keep sort files on load.

That will have all .mp3s to be listed by their filename...but change once the actual file is played to the id3 -- if you don't have an id3, winamp will give it a really simple one based on the filename.

Yup.

Isnt there any way to not have it load the ID tag even after its read?
Unfortunately alot of the ID tags on the MP3's I have are screwed up with URL's, comments, etc etc
