   soda says No one decides this. Or, alternatively, everyone decides this. iTunes uses the Gracenote CDDB service - which, in turn, gets all of its tagging information from folks who bother to submit the info to the service when they discover it is lacking. It, oddly, does not come from the Super Furry Animals themselves - unless they or their label or management bother to enter it or correct it. I'm not explaining this well.

   ivylander says For some reason, the version I have of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions' "Perfect Skin" falls under the category of "folklore." Anybody got a guess as to how that happened?

   Gritshake's Garage says It's done differently depending upon the record label. Sometimes the data is submitted to Gracenote by someone in the production department at the label. Other times it's embedded in the CD by the manufacturer. You'll know it's embedded if the song titles, etc turn up in your player even though not connected to internet. Many times it's just some college intern who doesn't give a shit who mislabel, misspell, etc. Vince
