A great and free tool is MP3tag, which lets you edit the metadata for MP3s in bulk. Even if the filename is right, most MP3 players pay more attention to the metatags when deciding play order.

But while we're on the subject of handy tools for archive maintenance, do any of you guys know of a good Windows tool for ID3 tag diagnosis/failchecking/correcting?
I use "MP3Diags":
That program runs through all the tags and streams within the file, and suggest actions wherever it finds inconsistency or errors. I've experienced certain players actually crashing while reading the tags of some really messed up mp3-files, and this program has cleaned and fixed these files with ease.
I love this program, however I have never tried it in Windows (I use Linux) so I don't know how well this program runs on that platform (read the authors warning on the link below). But do anyone know of a similar program? It really is a great tool to keep a large archive well maintenanced.
Here's the download page for MP3Diags, should anyone be interested:

A related free tool I use a lot is Lupas Rename 2000 which allows bulk renaming of files based on chosen patterns or text substitutions.Would not be without either of them.Mark--Mark
