reassigning wrong streams : mistagged tracks/albums/artists

Did I hear someone say there's an automated tool for removing the extra crap at the end of titles? Well how about you send it off on the hunt for:

" Version (Explicit))"
and of course
" Version (Explicit) (Full Length))"

Don't forget to remove the extra spaces and parentheses!

just found one of my favorite bands was on last.fm but spelled wrong!

Cashed Inn should actually be Cashed In on the album Esteem Driven Engine

S.F.B.I.H.Y.D should be S.F.B.I.H.Y.D. on the album Esteem Driven Engine

and Sliver Tongue Devil should be Silver Tongue Devil also on the album Esteem Driven Engine


and their album Together Again for the First Time has 3 misspelled versions

here and here. dunno how automated it really is, but you could report specific cases here.

http://www.last.fm/music/Ra+Ra+Riot/The+Rhumb+Lime

The Ra Ra Riot's current album is listed incorrectly. The correct album name is "The Rhumb Line", not "Lime" as is currently listed.

there are 2 albums by Lisa Stansfield whose songs are horribly, horribly mistagged. i've explained the problem as best i can in the following 2 journals:

Affection - see here for correctly tagged tracks;

Face Up (2001) – Lisa Stansfield;

and hope someone will take the matter up and fix the bad tags. more will follow, these are just the first. thks.
adding another journal to the list above:

Lisa Stansfield (2003) – Lisa Stansfield

updated details of mistagged tracks can be found in the 3 journals, but the short of it is that - aside from a few odd singles - it's basically a 3-way mix-up between 3 particular album pages:

mistagged songs streaming in the Affection page belong in the Lisa Stansfield page;
mistagged songs streaming in the Lisa Stansfield page belong in the Face Up page; and
mistagged songs streaming in the Face Up page belong in the Affection page;

@galeote - hope that's clear enough to work on, thks.
finally - after over 5 months' wait - it appears that the 3 completely cross-mistagged albums by Lisa Stansfield that i complained about have been sorted out at last(?), with a few exceptions:

in the album Affection:

All Around The World should be track #5 (musicbrainz source).

also note that tracks 14-17:
People Hold On (Single Version),
My Apple Heart,
Lay Me Down, and
Something's Happening;
are not from the album, but they have been assigned track numbers.

edit: fwiw, according to musicbrainz here, tracks #6, #15, #16, and #17 are part of the 4-track release What Did I Do to You?
in the album Lisa Stansfield, all tracks are now streaming correctly except:

Don't Cry for Me (remastered) (streaming I'm Coming to Get You from the album Face Up);

The Very Thought of You (remastered) (streaming Wish on Me from the album Face Up); and

Baby Come Back (streaming Something's Happening listed in the Affection album page)

Got Me Missing You should be assigned as track #13 and repositioned accordingly in the Lisa Stansfield album tracklist.

all non-streaming tracks in the tracklist with zero listener count (there are 19 in all!) should be purged from the list.
in the album Face Up, all tracks are now streaming correctly except:

Can't Wait To (streaming My Apple Heart listed in the Affection album page)
good job on finally sorting out the major part of the mess! i hope you'll be able to take care of the remaining bits really soon. (at least, pleeeease don't allow the situation to regress to the previous chaotic state it was in.)

thanks, guys!

only 4 days ago, i was only too happy to note (with thanks) my discovery that practically all of the mistitled streams in the 3 albums mentioned in this post had been reassigned to the correct track titles.

now, i've just discovered that What Did I Do to You? (7" version - remastered) from the Affection album (which was fixed) has reverted to the wrong track yet again, streaming instead Don't Cry for Me (remastered) (from the Lisa Stansfield album), which in turn is now streaming I'm Coming to Get You from the Face Up album.

i'm almost too afraid to find out if this is a sign of a return to the chaotic mess that has plagued 3 of Lisa Stansfield's major releases in the 7 months that i've been here. and if the answer is it was never really fixed by intention, then somebody please explain to me how in the world did 3 totally mangled albums spontaneously rectify themselves, if briefly, during the past week or perhaps longer?


*******

edit: yup, it's now official - total absolute utter chaos has returned to haunt Lisa Stansfield's albums once again.

Muse's Feeling Good is playing Anouk's Everything. Can we get that fixed, please?

I'm pretty sure that it is only capitalisations rather than actually changing the title.

It's not about changing the title, it's about replacing the songs in tracklisting. Of course the correct songs entries alreadt exist

mclusky should be Mclusky.not here, but here my friend.

Edison Glass' tracks all have "(A Burn Or A Shiver Album Version)" at the end of their track titles, when the shouldn't. Would be great if you could remove them.

Thanks.

@happydufus

it's a mixed artist album and the track titles don't contain the name of the artist.
the artist link and track link are correct imho
