When it comes to tagging and organizing your music collection (.....often, huge collection), which sites do you source as find accurate track info if Itunes doesn't list the song/album ?

I've tried Dsicogs, but have had issues, with artists are not spelled always spelled correctly. For example :

Sonar Methods Echoing Waves (Robert Nickson Remix)

Tuneup Media software flags this as a "Match" but in the list it says "Nichson" not "Nickson"


I know its not perfect, but i would have though the company who add the artists to Grace-notes knows what they are doing.

So, in this case. which is right ? Discogs, or Tune up? Or must i go through other sources to see different spellings ?

Anyone had this issue?

I've tried a few over the years & not one has been perfect. There will always be a couple tracks that would be off. I always end up doing a manual edit of some sort

I usually trust in Discogs. Some folks over there are overly anal but most of the artists and releases listed there are detailed and proof-read.
