It would probably be less work to fix this if you put tags in the files.

The way I'd probably do it would be to determine what information I
already had, and then using an Access script, copy the files into a new
directory hierarchy.  (I used to have my hierarchy as
Artist\Year\Album\Track, for instance.) I'd do a copy, if there was
room, so I didn't mess up the working files.  It doesn't matter how
nasty/complex this structure ends up being, because it's only
temporary.

Then I'd use Foobar's masstagger feature to populate ID3 tags based on
the directories I'd created in the first step.  It's able to figure
out, based on the pathname, what tags to use.  This will take some
troubleshooting to get right, but it's not that hard. 

Finally, I'd reverse the first step, and put the files back where they
came from.  Voila.... you still have the system you originally
developed, and you also have tags in all your files.  Just remember to
tag new ones, and you're gold.
