Song Title ID3 Display vs. Filename

Hello everyone, I have recently re-organized my music library into an "\Artist\Album\TrackNumber Title.mp3" style format. Upon transferring my music to my Galaxy S3, every media player app I have tried displays the song titles as their raw filenames, rather than the compelte ID3 metadata title. Because of a few albums with identically named songs on them, it would be very inconvenient to move the filenames around.

Basically, the media player should be smart enough to use the ID3 title rather than the file name. Surely there is a way to configure Winamp or RealPlayer to read them in this way, right? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
