Could Someone Write a freeDB Idiot Filter?

I use Exact Audio Copy (EAC) to rip my CDs because over the years I’ve heard countless glitches in CD rips I’ve made from my collection – EAC is a great tool for getting bit for bit perfect rips. When I put in a CD, my hope of course is that it’s in the freeDB database so I don’t have to type in the names of all the tracks. I’m a fan of a particular genre of A Capella music, typically referred to as “College A Capella”, which usually involves 20-something college students doing all-vocal versions of modern pop songs. At any rate, I bought a new CD (Best of College A Capella 2006) and popped it into the DVD drive and EAC happily identified it. It wasn’t until I was using MediaMonkey to embed the album art that I noticed that the artist name and song name were identical across all 20 tracks. I know it can be tricky entering in information for multi-artist CDs, but the odds of a group doing a song called “The Reason” and their group name being “The Reason” are pretty damn slim, don’t you think? Off to re-type a lot of information…
