question 2 - is there a way to automatically add IDV3 tags to my MP3's that are missing the info? like some kind of cddb query, as opposed to me right-clicking every file and hand-entering all the data?

you can mass-insert id3-tags with e.g. mp3-tag-studio (www.download.com). you can mass-set id3 tags manually, set id3-tags based on filenames etcetc. have a look.

With cddb it doesn't work, cause cddb looks on the ID of a CD and then looks if it finds some entries for that ID in it's DB.
The only thing you could do is re-rip your CD-collection (e.g. with musicmatch jukebox) and tell the ripping-programm to fill in the ID3-Tags based on CDDB. But you'd have to do your whole collection again...
