iTunes Q: show filename/path in a column?

I've tried searching and cannot find what I'm looking for so I'm asking here :)

Is there a way to display the filename or directory path in a column in iTunes? I've got a ton of mp3s I've imported that have no ID3 tags and going through them individually to see their location, then filling in the data is getting tiresome - I would love it if I could see the path and mass select songs and update things like artist, album, genre, etc at once.

Thanks!

    You know, if you set the names of things in iTunes and then select a bunch of songs and hit convert ID3 tags... it should change their tags for you.

    I guess to clarify, I've ripped most of my CD collection into a "/Artist/Album/Song_name.mp3" format. I got an ipod for free and and planning on putting my music on it. What I have mostly is a giant list of songs with their song names as the "name" and that's about it. I'd like to be able to see where these are at physically so I can mass update their artist and album information.

    iTunes might not be able to do this for me - I might have to do it elsewhere and bring them back into iTunes.... or just keep at it manually :(

    Something like this should do the trick. Then you can automatically generate the tags from their filenames.
