One thing I don't like is putting information in places where it's not supposed to be. For example, you put disc number in album title. In my collection, the total amount of discs and the number of any particular discs is stored in it's own tag. My sorting script makes sure they appear in order.

My collection is bigger than yours and I'm happy that I have album art for just about everything in there that I could find it for. Often, I have grabbed it manually, but I've also had scripts that downloaded it for me. With foobar, that's easy - and so is sorting your music by any tag you like - but what media player is it you use?
I use foobar, but I'm not into script writing so I use it basically with plugins and only basic customisation.

Also, I only put Disc Number in the Album title so that the folders are organised correctly both in and out of Foobar. Its not, strictly speaking, the wrong info in my eyes, just because I can't count the number of multiple disc albums I have where the gracenote or FreeDB tags have put that exact same piece of info in the same place!
