New auto-corrections imported

auto-correction redirections that were doing fine the previous week seem to have stopped working this week, eg:

both Caecilie Norby and Cæcilie Nørby and "their" music no longer point to Cæcilie Norby (the real deal).

(i have auto-correction on. had first reported it here.)

I'm not satisfied. The function is not bad, but not for all :(

DJ Exile must be as DJ Exile not just Exile
DJ Muggs vs. Planet Asia must be as default tag, DJ Muggs & Planet Asia must be as alias and second tag

Too may artists have been split up...worse, some people just uploaded tracks on split artists...stats are so incorrect and will continue to be incorrect. Can't these artists simply be merged?

vote for them and in time they will be :)
Hm, and what about artists we have already voted for and yet the auto-correction has been undone? For example Stuart Chatwood and Inon Zur. This should link to Stuart Chatwood and I really doubt that anyone has voted otherwise, since there are only five listeners of Stuart Chatwood and Inon Zur with a total of 387 plays of which 311 are scrobbled by me. With the previous update my Stuart Chatwood and Inon Zur plays were merged with my Stuart Chatwood ones and now that's undone.
Another example is Hipodil (a wrong tag) which was merged with Хиподил (the correct tag written in Bulgarian - the band's native language) and now is unmerged again.

I hope this will be fixed, since these were 2 of the 3 most significant changes in my library and I was extremely happy about them.

Actually, the new auto-corrections have made things more frustrating for me...in my iTunes I have Utada Hikaru's tracks labeled with her name in English, and this used to be redirected to her kanji (宇多田ヒカル) page; as in, there were not separate pages for her name written in English and in Kanji like there is now. Very frustrating - I mean, auto-correct fixes this so that I don't have to worry about this, but auto-correct has also mistitled the song "Paper Houses" by Josiah Leming, so I'm forced to have auto-correct turned off because I don't want that song scrobbled under the incorrect name that last.fm thinks is right (Paper House). It would be helpful if this was fixed sometime soon.

Questions about which artist should be considered "correct" when there is an English and Japanese title, like all the Final Fantasy soundtracks:

They're all on iTunes now with new English tracklists, some received official American releases with another tracklist, and they were all originally released in Japan with Japanese tracklists.

I assume it would be prudent to direct the tracks to the English titles and then have the Japanese side be translated into Japanese?

By the way, possible to correct uppercase and lowercase? For example name name to Name Name? A lot of artists are listed with lower case.

SAOPP, you can post your capitalization requests to this thread.

(Sorry, wrong topic.)

Just the other week, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band autocorrected to just A Silver Mt. Zion, with the latter name being apparently the more popular (and I guess therefore appropriate) tag. This changed within the past few days, however, and my plays between the two names are split. Why the change again?

(Note the two "+" in the first (wrong) title. These stand for spaces.)

It can't be seen in the rendered HTML, as your browser will reduce multiple spaces to one.

That's it. Got it now, thanks :)

I've asked it before, I'll ask it again: When will auto corrections show up in the library? The bulk of useful functions on Last.FM are tied to the library. As long as it's getting cluttered up with tracks that would have been auto corrected under the old system but aren't now, it's more or less useless. Any ETA on getting this corrected?

General
* No more Fix your tags images or wikis, add a correction instead.
wikis are still helpful sometimes, particularly for tricky track titles. and preferably with a musicbrainz or some other authoritative reference added for good measure.

there are instances when track titles look suspect but aren't - and those that look valid but aren't. casual listeners might otherwise just vote for what seems right (no disrespect meant), which might account for the many wrong redirects i've come across.

as a simple example, which of the 3 tracks below would you say is valid?

1. How Are You Gonna Deal With It (btw, only this one streams)
2. How Are You Gonna Deal With It?
3. How Are You Gonna' Deal With It (suggests you go to #1)
