True, a lot of tracks get still recognized (eg. some Einstürzende
Neubauten), but I'd assume there's a limit to what TEN can interpolate.
Take this example:

Code:
--------------------
    
  {
  "last_modified": "2013-01-03T17:35:48",
  "date_added": "2013-01-03T17:35:26",
  "request": {
  "song_name": "Heiðskýr heimsendir",
  "artist_name": "Rökkurró",
  "track_number": 6,
  "release": "Það kólnar Ã* kvöld...",
  "disc_number": 1,
  "item_id": "02a00b74d6adb2cb129394417cbb0a6b"
  }
  }
  
--------------------

which is supposed to be "Heiðskýr Heimsendir" by Rökkurró from the album
Það Kólnar Í Kvöld...
If TEN recogizes this, I'd be impressed (I had to search for the song
myself to know what it's supposed to be..)

OTOH, I find this quite neat:

Code:
--------------------
    
  {
  "song_name": "In Search Of Beauty In Life",
  "artist_id": "ARSLNWS1187FB4B753",
  "artist_name": "川井憲次",
  "last_modified": "2013-01-03T17:33:14",
  "date_added": "2013-01-03T17:33:05",
  "foreign_id": "XXXX:song:0182e9350e787f821401f0cd7edfe0f2",
  "song_id": "SOBJCZY13152A74C89",
  "request": {
  "item_id": "0182e9350e787f821401f0cd7edfe0f2",
  "release": "Seven Swords",
  "song_name": "In Search Of Beauty In Life",
  "artist_name": "Kenji Kawai",
  "track_number": 8
  }
  }
  
--------------------

where TEN helpfully translates the artist name from roman letters into
kanji

from my catalog viewer - as you noted, it's quite helpful to see
this...
