All I can say about the first one is that iTunes tends to do thing I don't want it to do with files. If you make a file read only, put it in iTunes like you've done before, and then load that same file into foobar, does the file still not show any information? If it does show information, then it's iTunes that's ruining the file tags and there's nothing you can do about it, unless you make everything read only.
But like LiquidAcid said, you'd probably have better responses at HydrogenAudio.
