Gracenote, or CDDB as it is otherwise known, and yes the amount of crap data in the CDDB is a problem.

Edit the track names, and submit the updated data (Advanced -> Submit Track anems, or something like that).

MusicBrainz and iEatBrainz is a partial solution to the problem, nut it's still a bit of a chore for a large CD collection.

Advanced -> Submit Track names is greyed out, but it's enough (for now) to know that it exists. I have kept These fooish things for the moment...

It will only be active when you edit the track names of the CD itself, once the files have been ripped iTunes doesn't have any way to link them back to the cddb id.

MusicBrainz has an accoustic fingerprint service so it can work out the track and cd without needing the id number.

That works - I've done my bit for information integrity and uploaded the names. Now I need to edit them on my ripped version, or wait till my suggestions have been accepted by Gracenote so I can download them again...
