Description

These may be broken out into separate task tickets, as appropriate.

General

Page layouts are inconsistent and repetitive. There is no reason to repeat the tab title for the data area on each page. This should be removed.

ID3 Tags

As this data is written to the MP3 file, an Undo button should be added to revert any changes without cancelling out of the dialog entirely to revert. Perhaps a reminder on the page that changes must be Saved would be a good idea.

Track name

This tab should be renamed to Track meta, as "name" is barely descriptive. A warning note that this data is saved to extended attributes and not to the file would be helpful.

For CD tracks, this information is not saved beyond the current session (eject the CD, remount, and the changes are lost). This data is also sourced from the configured CDDB, and not from the source files themselves. There is no method to submit changes to the CDDB. This should be made clear to the user. I would suggest not re-using the Track name tab, and instead creating a CDDB tab for these, without a save button and with the fields read-only.

Audio information

All of the data presented in a settings or properties notebook is "information." This tab should be relabeled Audio details (to differentiate it from Object details, as presented by XWP for the WPS object).

There is no help button on this page to describe the audio detail fields. This should be added to cwmm.ipf, and a Help button added to this page.
