Winamp ver 5.623 insists on reading music track metadata, then altering the playlist trackname to reflect the metadata.
But I want the playlist to only ever display the original track filenames, as stored on disk.
They are all in form 'nn - songname' and I want Winamp to never display anything else.

The Winamp General Preferences -> Titles : Metadata Reading section heading says: 
"Winamp can read extended metadata for titles.
 Choose when Winamp should query this data:"

The "can" is true but misleading. As the available options are now, it should say "will, even if you don't want it to."

There four options provided:
* Read metadata when file(s) are loaded into Winamp.
* Read metadata when file(s) are played or viewed in the playlist editor.
* Read metadata only when file(s) are played.
* Read metadata in the background when file(s) are loaded into Winamp or are played or viewed in the playlist editor.

What's needed is one more option:
* NEVER read the damned metadata. Never alter the displayed filename.


Other suggestions:
1. In General Preferences there should be an option:
   * Winamp must NEVER access the internet under any circumstances.
