If the contents of the combobox isn't a property of your list of 
tracks/discs/whatever, what use is it?  If it's something to do with your data, 
then it's got to be in your data.  If it's in your data, pull it out and 
populate the combobox with it.  If it isn't in your data, even if you type it in 
manually, how are you going to use it?

At a wild guess, you've got codes in your data representing these categories.  
If that's the case, create a lookup table and put your code/text correspondences 
in there.

Or have I guessed wrong?
