Re: Freedb vs MusicBrainz

Hard to say because I've pretty much done it from day one with every CD
I ripped.  Tagging an album is usually a matter of 30 seconds or so,
including cover art.

Yes, for about 99% of albums I've tagged allmusic.com has included
cover art.

allmusic and musicbrainz both seems to be pretty damned accurate and
consistent.  The advantage musicbrainz has over the mp3tag/allmusic
approach is that you can to a large extent automate the tagging process
whereas the mp3tag/allmusic.com approach requires some manual
intervention.  The reason I stick with the latter approach is because I
get to save albumreview, mood and style information, which I sometimes
like to refer to (I keep kidding myself that at some point I'm going to
find that useful :P).  allmusic's database also tends to be more
complete in that if you cannot find something on musicbrainz you can
usually find it in allmusic.
