This might be easier than what I was thinking. I was just mucking about it in
a couple of command line sessions (one OS/2 and and one DOS) but I think most
of it can happen in the DOS session alone if the files are already in 8.3
format. I was able to copy .MP3 files to a temporary directory, strip the EAs
using EAUTIL (it works from a DOS command line too) and them copy them to the
drive. I figured I could create a batch file that could do the same thing but
I was (mentally) getting stuck at stripping the EAs off of an arbitrary and
unknown-in-advance number of files since EAUTIL doesn't take wildcards.

The dfsee solution would allow mucking with files arbitrarily and then cleaning
it up dfsee at the end. However, using the drag-and-drop of the WPS would
still leave the WP* hidden file there. Would the dfsee solution work with
renaming the WP solution file as well, do you think?
