I think you're relying on a software solution too much, when it's pretty
easy to fix.  The catergory "No Album" or "No Artist" is a bit of a
get-out only to be used when you want to see what you've screwed up or
what Slim didn't understand.

What I do with all my files is the following:

If I don't know the artist, it's blank or I cannot be bothered to fill
it in I set the artist to "ZZZZZZUnknown Artist".  This is a good
reference to keep it at the bottom of any list, and also to quickly
find what I need to fix.

The same if it is an unknown album and I have all the tracks.

If it's just one song I ripped then I give it the album "Jim's Singles"
by AlbumArtist "Various Artists".

If it's something else such as a old Napster MP3 or whatever then I
give it the album "Jim's 128kbps MP3s", again with AlbumArtist "Various
Artists".

I don't bother with track numbers, but you could further catergorise
this random stuff into your favourite order keeping < 100 tracks per
"Album" obviously..... e.g. "Jim's Reggae Downloads"....."Jim's Funny
Stuff"....

>From then on if you still find listings of "No Album" or "No Artist"
it's an easier indication of problems.
