This still makes me wonder if it would really be so hard to have
Slimserver pull Artist/Album/Track/Title from one of the many music
databases out there and use the retireved information, if found,
instead of what is in the tag.  You know, all the code is probably
already written.  For instance, check out this site:
http://musicbrainz.org

And now, check out this module on CSPAN:
http://search.cpan.org/~svanzoest/MusicBrainz-Queries-0.09/Queries.pm

If feature enabled, if internet connection, once song accessed/starts
playing, use the MusicBrainz database for Artist/Album/Track/Title if
found from what is in the mp3 tag.  Performance hit?  No clue, but when
these databases are accessed to pull information using ripping utilities
its pretty darn fast.  I'll keep using mp3 taggers myself, but it would
be nice to have the ability for us all to see the samething No maTtER
whAT thE dtA LoOks liKe In oUr Tags.
