Freeamp already supports ID3v1.1, which does have a field for a track number,
and it supports ID3v2, which has storage space for everything under the sun..
If neither tag has a track number, freeamp will also attempt to parse the
filename a bit, looking for numbers in the filename..
If you don't have track numbers with your files named that way, try deleting
your metadatabase and searching again.. should show up. MusicBrainz had a fun
little bug where it would strip off track numbers during a lookup previous to
the most recent release.
