Cool File Name and Volume Formatting for MP3 CD playback

I just picked up an '09 Es350 with Nav, and it's awesome!!!

I use the same naming convention for my mp3 files, and it's track#-artist-title.mp3. I use Winamp for playback at home.
When playing these files, the system displays the folder name correctly, but each track is display as track#-artist, and the title of the song is not displayed.
Is there any way to set the audio system to display these files in a way that's more consistent with what I'm used to at home without renaming the files themselves? Can M3U files be used to create playlists???

For those of you who have issues with the volume of your mp3 files through the Lexus audio system, I used a free program named MP3gain to reset the volume tags on my MP3 files so they match the volume of music coming from an FM radio station.

Glad to be here!
Wish my wife's IS250 had the Premium Package and NAV!!

I could be wrong but I don't think the ML system is capable of displaying ID3 tag info in a user-friendly readable format on-screen; also, the field for the file name can only display a fixed-number of characters on-screen in both folder and playback screen views (folder view can display fewer characters than that in playback view, although I can't remember if the file name is capable of scrolling across so that the entire name can be viewed).

Default MP3 Files

On the Audio Screen, in the upper right corner Press "Root Folder", then on the left center press "Files" Your tracks should be listed 6 at as time.You can then press the up or down arrow to view the next or previous 6. It will also play songs from your Windows Media Player.
