Please note that if you are connected to the internet, that this information is update to Microsoft for sharely with others that have the same CD. This is also very handy for musicians/artist who are producing their own music, as it allows them to add their information to the world wide CD DB.

Useful though this metadata facility is, I have found for nearly every CD I own that I have had to enter at least some of the details myself - maybe existing data is more complete for current music and popular genres.

Here's a few questions on submitting album/track data myself:

* Who checks submissions (if anyone)? Is Microsoft involved or is it all dealt with by third parties?

* Why isn't it possible to submit details on some missing or incorrect info - for example, record label?

* When submitting Genres it appears I am restricted to the items in the list - which isn't always adequate. But I notice that others seem to have submitted entries for Genres which are not in the list. How?

* One particular difficulty seems to be items being entered for Genres which DO exist, but in other languages (eg Classique for Classical). Couldn't Genre codes exist which have different language equivalents?

* On occasion CDs I own have had data returned in Japanese, for which I don't have language support, so have no idea if it is correct. I have sumitted new English language data - is this correct?
