    Half of my recent CD rips forced me to manually type in the basic 
metadata because what was coming from cddb (or whatever you call the
current iteration of this) was "wrong". It was in all caps like it
was entered by some boneheaded Windows users.

     Even the "tried and true" can't even be necessarily depended on when it 
comes to "fancy metadata".
