        Or is it like with "a.m." where nobody seems to know if it's best to use "AM", "am", "A.M." or "a.m." :P

        i guess its splelled like that in amazon, because they had to change it in the process of importing

        • 2005-12-01 33519, 2005

        • 2005-12-01 33555, 2005

        potentially it could be dealt with by the autofix (guess case) code

        I think the reason many people will automatically vote no on such mods is due to the frustration of seeing people just not making the effort. I have to restrain myself from giving an automatic no to anything that doesn't have the release type defined personally.

        I get fed up with it. I just want them to correct their errors but an amazing amount of people just don't seem to care. Once they've got their mp3s tagged they no longer have a use or any interest in MB until their next load of mp3s need tagged.

        Same here, although I make mistakes every now and then - but I respect when someone points it out to me :)

        The freedb imports could use a note about double-checking for correct style and capitalization and proof-reading the track names

        so the main machines can be available for people who moderate.

        • 2005-12-01 33530, 2005

        then two machines for people who tag.

        • 2005-12-01 33539, 2005

      • ruaok
        so that the tagging people no longer drag down the main server.
