I don't know whether others have had the same experience, but I've also found that the database that Max uses (MusicBrainz, I think it is) is simply dreadful for classical and early music. I usually re-tag most of the music I rip to some extent, but it's very rare indeed to find an album that needs complete re-tagging, let alone one without any info at all, in iTunes/Gracenote. By contrast, I found that Max more often than not (or at least it seems that way) gives me either a complete blank or info that's worse than useless. I very much wanted to use it, but had to give up on it really quite rapidly. I've now just started using dbpoweramp (under Parallels) to get the benefit of accurate ripping to .aiff, then imported to iTunes under OS X 10.6.2 and converted a copy to ALAC for my principal iPod library - a very easy process almost as easy, in fact, as ripping to iTunes in the first place. One can even use Amadeus Pro to do batch conversions/imports all at once.
