Is there any way to mark the tracks now (1.04, maybe), and wait until emplode 1.1 to use the marks?

Marking isn't present in 1.0x, sorry, you have to wait for 1.1 for that.

In the meantime, there's this great gadget you can use to take care of the problem. It's a portable graphite-based data recording device. It's very small and easy to keep around the empeg. It's also quite inexpensive. Every time a bad track comes up, you can use this device to store the track name. Perhaps you've heard of it? It's called a pencil.
