Damn computers, always doing what they're told...

Undo would be good, but a little complicated, I think.  JRiver woud have to add a string of operations (to be 'undone') within the database with every file.  I suppose you could go back to your latest backup of your music.

One thing I meant to add:  Some engineering software I use warns you if an operation you are about to perform will affect more than X entities (X=10 or 20 or 50 or whatever).  MJ could have some simple logic built in saying "I don't think this dude really wants to do this" and issuing a warning box like "This operation will permanently change the ID3 tags in 1,076 files.  Do you really want do this?  REALLY?!?"

A warning would be a good thing-- accidents will happen, you know.

If the file names are still correct (not the id3 tag), you could choose the "fill properties from filename . . ." option
