We take for granted that we can find music on the Web - and Artist details
will be available about the track.

However, I find myself wondering who keyed in the information to make it

Some CDDB entries get autopopulated from CD text, but a lot is
user-contributed. If i buy a CD that isn't in CDDB (or rather freedb),
I'll submit it for my own convenience and to help others.
