Isn't the format strings only used for the first track part in the web
interface (The part before the "from") ?

At least my selected format string is:
TRACKNUM. TITLE (TRACKSTATRATINGDYNAMIC)
And the result is that I see something like this in the web interface:
10. Shades Of Michelangelo ( * * *)  from Runaway Horses  by Belinda
Carlisle  

So your suggestion is great, but I think we will also need a way to
enter format strings for the artist part and album part of the string
visible in the web interface if it should work.

Also make sure that the things entered in USER_EXTRA is title formats,
not tags. The reason is that if title formats is used it will be
possible for any plugin to add its own keys which the user can use in
the USER_EXTRA value.
