Description:

For users who use auto-correct and are also tag nazis, and thus want to make an effort to make the corrections offered by auto-correct as correct as possible.

Let's strive together to make auto-correct perfect!

In this group everybody works together to spot missing corrections as well as mistakes in auto-correct, and vote for the correction of such.
This is especially useful for lesser known artists with too few listeners who care enough to vote.

Suggest songs and artists that are "corrected" wrongly or need correction, and the group will vote so that it can be fixed.

Check this thread for guidelines about making correct corrections. Seriously, it's got the answers for 80% of your questions, and is well worth the read!

Alphabetical list of necessary corrections for English-language music (Roman alphabet):
A-B-C D-E-F G-H-I J-K-L M-N-O P-Q-R-S T-U-V W-X-Y-Z + 0-9 & Special characters

Alphabetical List of Necessary Cyrillic Corrections
Alphabetical List of Necessary Japanese Corrections
Alphabetical List of Necessary Greek Corrections
(To quickly search for something in the lists, hit ctrl+F on your keyboard and type what you are looking for!)

If you have a complaint regarding wrong upper and/or lower case letters in a title/band name, this is not the place to go. Last.fm will fix it for you if you report it here instead.

does anyone here have a musicbrainz account? I need votes for my correction

Is it just me, or shouldn't we close the “Reports of artists and songs that need correction” thread? | The reason it was separate from the bath-track voting previously was because one-off posts were highly infeasible, isn't the case now though, one-off reports certainly won't harm the threads since it is us who are voting now. | And I really don't like manually voting since it involves opening new tabs, which I am too lazy to do so. Also costs efficiency.

Some of my corrections though probably won't get corrected for years as they have around 10k-250k listeners and we only have 600 on this group. If only more people knew.

I'm voting and I know people are voting for mine, because some songs have been corrected. Patience and perseverance are the key :)

I've been voting for everyone's with my two accounts. I hope everyone is voting back. It's the only way this works. And from what I have seen it does....slowly.

I hope people aren't just posting the autocorrections they want. They need to repay the favour by voting for the autocorrections in this threads. Thanks. [2]

I've just done a whole heap of voting on both the automated and manual correction thread. It would mean a great deal to me if you could take two minutes to read and follow through with this blog post. Thank you muchly :D http://www.last.fm/user/Jamekae/journal/2013/03/23/5s5l4y_the_beach_boys_titles_for_correction

How do you vote on the corrections in non-batch topic? The batch-voter only recognises posts in a certain format...

Hi, I wanted to say thanks because at least 7 of the songs I submitted for correction have been changed, so, keep on the good work!

@scarlet, not number, it's probably a percentage or a formula that incorporates percentage

no idea, and does it redirect automatically or staff look at the votes and decide is about time?

Please, help to separate this artist from the wrong tag "anonymous". Right tag is anonymous4132
