Likewise this is an issue I've recognised as a problem. iTunes is definitely limited re: reading certain id3 tags. When this type of situation occurs, then I make note of the id3 tag details from the search result & add it to the song after it's downlded via mp3 Rage. I check the tags with that proggie & add anything that's missing. Else add it to iTunes after it's been added (if it's been added.) MP3 rage is particularly good for albumwraps for QuickEdit (multiple file.) Checking the details both before & after extracting.

Also not all mp3's have id3 tags which makes iTunes struggle. It only lists the file name under the title (if it imports it at all.)

I may also use Audion to help me in this identification. Remember the full version of Audion is now free since they stopped developing it. Pity, it had more abilities than iTunes re: recognising mp3 types & id3 tags. See the General Mac OSX Sticky for links.

I'd love to hear from anyone for better solutions for OSX users!
