I see a menu item in iTunes 'submit CD track names'.
Currently greyed out, but I don't have a CD in...

and they use the
commercial Gracenote CDDB
service. I refuse to support FreeDB as it's data is
utter pants.

Is that the service set in the CD Database preferences
tool?

This is an issue I've been meaning to raise after I
noticed it during the UI review.

We have a preferences tool that claims to set CD
database preferences system-wide.
But very few audio apps use it -- someone said only
the CD player app does.

So we're basically misleading the user, and we have a
largely useless prefs tool.

I don't know enough about the subject to have an
opinion on the solution, but we should do one of:
a) remove the prefs tool completely
b) fix it so it's not pants and get all relevant apps
to use it

Leaving it as it is makes *us* look pants :(
