Haha, I've had the same thing happen to me with a CD by portuguese Hip-Pop band Da Weasel, whom my PC decided were Creed. Which I thought was a bit harsh.

Here we go again. This time it's offering me four alternatives for Oum Kolthoum's
Roba'eyat el Khayam:
Album: Merlin And The Dragons, Artist: Kevin Kline & Michael Rubini
Album: Gobi. The Desert Artist: Monolake
Album: An [sic] Legned of King Kong: Incredible Discovery Artist: Original Soundtrack)
Album: Diary: How to Improve the World (You Will Only Make Matters Worse) [1999](6 of 8) Artist: John Cage
John Cage?! (Is there some artifical intelligence saying, "Hmmmm, this looks weird. Maybe John Cage.")

I've switched over to Sonic RecordNow! which I'm finding a lot more pleasant to use than Jukebox. And it's even doing a far better job of identifying Arabic CD tracks and without making such a big deal about it.

(Except Sonic RecordNow! decided one of these CDs was a Traffic CD.)

they're identified, i think, by a code number arrived at by multiplying the length of the album by the number of tracks; invariably some cds will share those identifying numbers

one year passes...
I wanted to start a new thread, but do not feel like registering. The topic was gonna be when you hear something for the first time, thinking that it's another artist, but when you are corrected there's a sense of disappointment.
I was at Tower Records and they had the PiL best-of out for listening. I only know a few PiL songs, the awesome "Poptones" and the dreary yuck "This is Not a Love Song". Anyway so I choose Magazine 2 and Disc 6 which was supposed to be the PiL CD and decide to check out "Careering" which I've heard is a great Pil song.
So on comes this quiet ballad type thing with these soaring female vocals (no enunciated words, just singing), and it sounds great but nothing at all like the PiL I've heard. I decide it's absolute genius. But then the track ends and the next begins and it's Pink Floyd's "Money". So it seems Tower mixed up the CD's and I'm listening to Dark Side of the Moon and what I just heard was "The Great Gig in the Sky".
Recontextualized, "The Great Gig in the Sky" is now lame druggy histrionics, and "Careering" which I am now actually hearing, is, well, just more aggro postpunk and I have no real desire to sit through the whole song.
So, shame on me and my baggage, or is TGGITS great, or what?
