CDDB is amazingly complete (Score:2)

It gets all of the random UK and Finnish CDs along with the US titles. One thing I have noticed you should watch for is that sometimes CDDB will get the album and the artist right but if you have a slight variant or special release edition it will get the tracks wrong. Other than the occasional spelling error it really is quite impressive.

  I was a little distressed to find that CDDB thought my Screamin' Jay Hawkins album was by Screamin' Jaw Hawkins and contained a song called "Yellow Cat" (actually "Yellow Coat"). I haven't checked to see if my corrections made it in.
  
  Damn! I was going to include a link to the Jay's Kids site, but that seems to have gone away and had its domain snatched by ... an executive search company (sure, that makes sense). But here it is [archive.org] in the Wayback Machine.
