Is there a simple way to find the median? I have over 700 songs, and I don't want to count down to the 350th or so every time I re-arrange it.

Well, I have 7529 songs on my iTunes. What I did was I counted to like the 15th song down the page, which was the song in the middle. I put my mouse on that song, and lined up the scroll bar with that song position exactly.

It's not really very simple, but it's pretty easy.
