I can't say I've had any general quality problems with Gracenote errors. However, from the variation with some discs, I infer that many entries are "user contributed"/ So, the quality may vary according to what music you buy and what type of other people bought that music and contributed titles, etc. This also means that you can contribute your own high-quality titles back to Gracenote, I think (see iTunes' "Advanced" menu). Also, I don't quite understand your comments about Disk#, Year and Comment --- I seem to be able to change them freely. If you wish to flush out bad CDDB data, you could move your "Home > Library > Preferences > CD Info.cddb" file to the Trash. You can also stop iTunes using Gracenote on a case-by-case basis by pressing the "Stop" button (either in the pop-up dialogue or via the "X within a circle" in iTunes --- whichever one is relevant to you). Or, you can turn off your "automatically connect to the Internet" option (whereever that is --- maybe Network Preferences). On a more dead-end note: I do not know where iTunes' Gracenote preferences have gone. I'm sure there used to be an option where you could chose whether CDDB was used automatically or not. Sigh.
