Advanced Tracking Features would be more accurate for what it currently does;
however, if we want to save statistic information in the files like QL, which
I think is a good idea, then it makes sense to have it be a part of ATF (keep
all options which write to files together, so users can entirely disable or
enable Amarok touching their metadata, unless people think it'd be a good
idea to separate the functionality). If we do that, "Advanced Tracking
Features" may end up being even more inaccurate and I'd prefer Advanced Tag
Features, although I could be persuaded that it would be "statistics
tracking" and thus Tracking would still be relevant. I just think that if
you have a more generic "Tag" name that you can then lump whatever features
you want under it without introducing another name and/or having a name
change later.
