Well feel free to code a solution to a problem you're creating for yourself then. :)

genre - artist - title - comment.ext

this way I am additionally independent of any player's capability to display tag information or not.

But why not tag them as well? MP3Tag could scan your collection, write tags based on your well-defined naming system and then you would have the best of both worlds.

That's just pure silliness.  Even if you do feel it necessary to have *all* of that information in the filename (rather than organizing your files in some sort of hierarchical structure), nothing prevents you from using tags to display the information on your portable player.

There is also an additional benefit from using tags: if you happen to loose some file names you can still recover the artist / title information (and a couple more that can get stored in the tags) from the tags. And, something I found to like really much, ReplayGain informations are stored inside of the file's tags. Not to mention the possibility to build up a database like TagCache...

So I don't see any reason why not to use tags.
