Bug Description

Hi,

Originally reported on Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/544130

« The standard "Title/Album/Artist" or whatever is next to useless for
classical music. For example, how would you represent an aria from
Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro, sung by xxx and conducted by yyy?

My solution is to use xiph.org's OGG field recommendations. But since
the only player I know of that shows those tags is ogg123, I'm out in
the cold. My solution is to have filenames like

  Mozart - K.492 Le Nozze di Figaro - (09) Non piu andrai (Solti).ogg

In other words, I put everything in the filename and then use title
for the title "Non pio andrai", ignore "Artist" or "Track" as those
are meaningless, etc. But as written, listen thinks that I have 32
tracks called "Le Nozze di Figaro" with no further information except
length.

Please, would you consider allowing the actual filename to be a
full-class citizen for libraries, playlists, searching, sorting, etc?
I beg! If so, remember: draw spaces as " " and not "%20" as many
other players (eg. vlc) do. »

Cheers,
Julien
