LibraryThing

I resisted. I stayed away. But finally, the Readercon panel (writeup to come) pushed me over the edge.

You people are evil. Evil evil evil evil evil. Damn you all.

That is all.

Okay, not all. But when you throw me in that metadata briar patch, danger awaits (looks at clock). I've ranted before about the craptastic nature of the CDDB metadata, and now I'm busily going through and fixing up LibraryThing data. (I'm very picky about my metadata quality.)

The username is my usual one, of course, since it was available.

The first D in CDDB stands for "Inaccurate." I can sometimes rely on it for pop albums, but with classical, it's usually good for a starting point to retitle every cut manually. Then I have to retitle them again in iTunes, because something in there thinks I want to concatenate every bit of information, starting with the least necessary. (I'll stop now before I duplicate my entire reply to your 2005 posting.)
