Brad critiques AppleMusic. I had hoped that the recent practice of music publishers imprinting track data on the CDs themselves (recognized by any CD player capable of displaying it) would have cleaned up the mess made my CDDB users, but I know enough about reconciling vendor data to have little faith that official track data is any more consistent than a hodgepodge of different CDDB users.

CDDB is so bad that multiple discs in a boxed set often have different data styles from different people for each disc in the set, which means without intervention upon ripping, half of a set ends up in a folder for "Glenn Gould" and the other half ends up in a folder for "Bach." I, of course, have my own opinion on who the artist actually is in that scenario, but the wrong way worked for somebody well enough for them to share.
