I'll try this later and see how it goes on my machine.

I'm loving the "get from Amazon" feature on Tag & Rename. It's been
quite accurate for me so far and also grabs the album art.
I just wish there were a keyboard shortcut for "all available tags" and
that it didn't have the two-step selection aspect (where a file can be
"highlighted" but not "selected" and vice versa). Really makes it a
pain to assign disk numbers to multi-disk shows / sets.
