iTunes advice

[Carl Edlund Anderson]

Crowd sourced metadata for audio is pretty bad. Usually, but not always, the Artist name and Album title are _close_ to right ... And that's about it! ;)

For iTunes, you can download and add in various AppleScript things that help tame the metadata etc. Possibly other software has similar built-in or plugable features?

Cheers,

(Though with some of these "open-source-databases" (Gracenote, the Spotify/Grooveshark catalogues, etc.) I always find that expecting average Joes to get things straight is just not feasible...I have to check *everything* to make sure it isn't totally wrong.  It's like getting a Cleopatra CD in the mail!) :)  Tracks are mislabelled, out of order, wrong/poor graphics, wrong spellings, music full of data errors, track cuts off before end of song/long bit of silence after track ends, all kinds of crap is just wrong.  Hopefully in the future, stuff will be much more organized and QC'd, but who knows?
