Hi, What I use is fusion, and a little windows utility called mp3tag. It allows you to select a bunch of tracks, who's filenames have been nicely numbered. It looks at each file in turn, numbering it in sequence. Of course, your filename numbering must be correct, in order for mp3tag to match your track numbers accordingly. But that is very effective. You select your files, and then you tab across the mp3tag windows dialog, filling in general information that you want applied to each track. For example,you can fill in the artist and album name from within the mp3tag program window, and apply that to all selected files. You then select renumber as a second operation, and mp3tag fills in the track number field inside each mp3 file's meta data. If you then import those mp3 files into itunes, your metadata, i.e. the mp3 tags, will be just fine, so that itunes knows how to handle each mp3 file and move it into your itunes library.
