iEatBrainz (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22813&vid=149586&mode=info) is an indispensable utility for those OC about their iTunes Library Information. Unlike CDDB that fetches track information on per Audio CD information (making it useless for compiled Audio CDs and MP3 CDs) iEatBrainz uses the Music Brainz Library (http://www.musicbrainz.org/), identifying songs based on their unique acoustic signature.

It's still buggy so don't check the tag info on all of your songs at the same time - do it a by artist or by album. If in case it gets stuck in "Application Not Responding", just delete the iEatBrainz Application Support folder and the *.plist file.

BTW, I found that it's accurate around 95% of the time so just glance over the matched songs to check for mislabeled songs. Once you update your iTunes song information it CANNOT be undone, you'll have to do it manually.

wow thanks for the info Kelvin :)
I'm updating my itunes library and so far it really works well, it can even update the tags on my Mandarin, Japanese and Korean songs.
