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.

re hairspray (2007 movie soundtrack) - see here, likely that composer Marc Shaiman gets credit for all tracks, regardless of who performed them. this is the way musicbrainz does it (individual performers only get a passing mention).

Hairspray Cast is redirected to Hairspray even though Lastfm is always telling us not to have Titles as artist names.. grr. What else can we tag them as? Surely one name to represent an entire cast is better than multiple profiles consisting of numerous actors listed is better...? This goes for all musical productions and movies...can we have one rule for them all please.

There is a Japanese ska band named オレスカバンド (Also known as OreSkaBand in English.) Many people are scrobbling their name as Ore Ska Band which is incorrect. Can I ask everyone to go to the Ore Ska Band page and suggest a correction? And also vote up the 'incorrect artist' photo. Thanks a lot!

I am hoping we get another update soon of the autocorrect script. I found that that tool was awesome in correcting corrections at a good rate. Its been awhile since the last one :(

This looks difficult. Usually, Last.fm goes along with MusicBrainz. On MusicBrainz, the album is attributed to De-Phazz alone. The question is whether De-Phazz is correct. On the album and their homepage they are spelled both DePhazz and De Phazz while on earlier releases it was De-Phazz. Once this question is answered we just need to vote for the other spellings to be redirected to the proper one. That should take care of the album, as well.

Hi, I'm new here - how can I contribute to unify an artist's name? My current problem is the album BIG from DePhazz/De-Phazz/De Phazz/de-phazz (and even more spellings) & The Radio Bigband Frankfurt. The Top Hit for the album is <http://www.last.fm/music/De%2BPhazz%2B%2526%2BThe%2BRadio%2BBigband%2BFrankfurt>;

Supposedly, there is going to be auto-correct for albums at some point in time. The reply tracker should be fixed.

The library cannot be edited. You can either use auto-correct to correct the mis-scrobbled tracks, or you can delete them from your library and scrobble properly tagged music.

Is it possible to edit your library somehow? I think there was some kind of tool... I have dozens of albums tagged wrong with similar names (ex. Meshuggah - Catch Thirtythree, Catch Thirty-three, Catch 33 etc., I think you get the point). I want my music to be listed at perfect order with correct titles :)
