Since a tag is enbeded with each individual music file the "computer" must first choose what order to read the files. I guess it could take it one step further and read the total directory and play back in the tags track order. What's interesting is that WMP 12 doesn't read the tag title on playback, but shows a parsed file name without the number.

I agree that the car can be a hostile environment for a HD, so I do plan on mounting it to buffer mild shocks.
