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.

i think auto-correcting every single track might work, but that's just a pain in the ass, it'd be over 80 tracks to auto-correct

I have a question, this artist: Yoshihisa Hirano and Hideki Taniuchi is an incorrect tag for either 平野義久 (Yoshihisa Hirano) or タニウチヒデキ, they worked together for the three Death Note original soundtrack albums, but they didn't work together on any one particular song, in other words, even the translated version of Yoshihisa hirano and Hideki Taniuchi is wrong (平野義久 & タニウチヒデキ and all its variants are wrong) | The problem is how to correct this, the page is just full of scrobbling mistakes, even the track names are wrong, any solutions?

The Chicken Shed Choir - Talk Through Me should be corrected to: Jo Collins - Talk Through Me. Thanks if you can help correct it! If you've got any more questions about the track, please just ask by leaving me a message or a shout!

Voted! I've also spotted a couple autocorrect issues here... http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/Drake+feat.+The%20Weeknd, http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/Drake+feat.+Rihanna. They should both redirect to Drake, but they incorrectly direct to The Weeknd and Rihanna respectively.

Please forward this correction; Last.fm display has two artists with similar names. You are playing the INCORRECT song according to the album image on display. The album displayed on your page, titled "Reflections Of The Man Inside," is our Eddie Robinson." However, the voice of the person heard singing is a totally different from the lp cover. This album was released in 1974 by our Eddie Robinson. The two artists are not to be confused. The “Reflections…” album cover should be removed to avoid further confusion. Letters, "GM," are added to our “Eddie Robinson GM,” the legendary songwriter, musician arranger from the home of Motown, Detroit. Here are examples of other recordings online by Eddie Robinson GM; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDRkCFiGjWw&feature=related Hear the current single by Eddie Robinson GM at this link: http://www.1035kissfm.com/new2/artists/i/281808?psid=380642 E-mail: a14one@sbcglobal.net Thanks / PPM Productions

The problem is that people add wrong tracks, and leave. They do not bother to vote on tags that other people suggest. Selfish!

Yeah that's pretty much how I feel. I joined this group months ago, but I give up now. I've even disabled the correcting in my profile. Last.fm need to use Discogs exclusively for a source if they really give a shit about accurate track titles.
