Aren’t computers supposed to deal with this crap for us? This UI does a not unreasonable service: it lets me know the track I’m playing has a nonstandard string in the Artist field:
So, you know what the problem is and can tell me about it, but you can’t just make it work? How about creating an association between similar strings and not bothering me with it? “It’s not Beyonce, it’s Beyoncé” is just patronizing; “Please fix my tags”? Fix your damn interpretation of my tags. Maybe I didn’t write that tag; Maybe I can’t change it. Fail.
The opposite problem also exists: one artist name with two or more artists. Last.fm just treats them as the same artist. It’s been a problem with last.fm since I joined six years ago, and there’s no solution in sight. It makes the recommendations useless, because too many of the artists I’m supposed to like have the same names as ones I don’t like at all.
