Thanks very much Myriam.  

I suspected the tag issue.  I will file those app names.  Tagging with
Amarok from the file browser seems to do the job sufficiently.  I rarely
boot into windows any longer, now that I have Amarok, so I think I can avoid
using iTunes in case it takes some initiative in messing with some tags
again.

I avoided DRM issues in iTunes.
