XMMS question

[Vaughn Treude]

Hello:
I have a dumb question about the XMMS audio player.
I ripped a large number of CDs to MP3 and put cdparanoia in "batch" mode 
and shell-scripted the WAV files directly to lame, so the tags within 
them all ended up in the format cdname.track##.  I found this annoying, 
so I processed the information in the CDDB files on my system until I 
had a nice M3U playlist with album, artist and track name info in the 
#EXTINF field for each file.  XMMS now has nice track information in the 
playlist, UNTIL it actually plays a particular track.  At this point it 
replaces this useful information with the crappy information in the MP3 
file's tag.  It won't go back to the #EXTINF info for that track unless 
I reload the playlist.  I've been through the options but there doesn't 
seem to be any way I can make it ignore the crappy tag info.  And no, I 
am NOT re-encoding any of these files (unless possibly there is a way to 
batch-write the tags in the files without recreating any of them.) 
Anybody know how to to make XMMS behave itself?
Thanks,
Vaughn
