Any plans on fixing this? I've been bitten by this problem about 5 times now in a \
couple of years and it's forced me to recover my MP3s from backups each time. A \
simple dialog popping up when you change  multiple tracks is fine in my opinion and \
really should be put in place before some harder to implement and more usable option \
is implemented. As it stands, this is an incredibly easy way to make destructive \
edits to your files with no way to undo what you've just done. A pop-up might be \
ugly, but undoable destructive edits is a massive problem for usability.

As an example, I had selected 500 classical music tracks and was going to the "Edit \
track information" button to rename all the genres to "Classical" from the dialog \
that pops up. I accidentally clicked the button above (literally 10s of pixels up \
from where I was aiming) and every one of my tracks was renamed to the same title \
without confirmation. There was little for me to do but restore from backup. Imagine \
the situation if you didn't have backups. \
