Unfortunately, a lot of the music i've added, while showing correctly as far as album and artist and even track names, are missing track number information, which of course causes songs to be ordered alphabetically by name. It would take me forever, even if I did nothing else the rest of my life, to fix this. Is there any method I can use in iTunes or any program I can acquire that will go through and attempt to find and add the track number information?

Not really. If you had ripped the music, or bought it, track numbers would be there; I'm assuming you didn't buy it, because I've rarely seen purchased music without track numbers.

What you can do is use this AppleScript to add track numbers, but you need to put the tracks in order manually first:
