I'm intrigued by this.

With new albums you often find yourself adding in the data on a CD's track listing. So why is that I can enter the information and then MP3 the same CD at work to listen to there a day later and it's still not on the database?

Moreover, when I burn a demo CD of my band I'd like it in all the databases so that when someone sticks it into their PC they'll automatically get the right tags. Very useful in these http://last.fm days.

So, how do you enter your CDs or un-entered CDs to make sure they're in the database. From the looks of the MS website they claim if you enter the details yourself (and haven't claimed it's one you burned) it gets submitted. I've not really seen much evidence of that.

And on top of that, what about MusicMatch, iTunes, WinAMP, RealPlayer et al.? How do you make sure all of them have the info without having to install each package in turn and submitting.

Is there a method others use or do you just have to wait for enough people to have entered all the info?
