Sound Juicer has a menu item which was labelled CD->Submit in 2.12,
and in 2.14 is labelled CD->Submit Track Names.

Both of these are incorrect. What the button *actually* does is open
the relevant page on the MusicBrainz server for that CD, so if it
found a matching album you can edit the metadata if it is incorrect,
and if it wasn't found you get an import page.

That seems quite time-consuming. How does iTunes get away with not
opening a Web page for its "Submit CD Track Names" item?

You can't submit in iTunes, and they use the commercial Gracenote CDDB
service. I refuse to support FreeDB as it's data is utter pants.

You only need to use this button if you want to edit the upstream
metadata, if you just want to be lazy and fix it locally you can edit it
inline in the treeview.


"Contribute Track Names..."?

Not bad. I wish there was a sane way to programatically upload metadata. :/
