They could scroll longer titles (like those stock tickers) .. :)

In the case of techno/trance/.. genre different mixes might sound quite
different, that is why I now add them in parentheses to the track name.

Other stupid items:

1. If "Beatles, The" is prefered, I should probably switch to
"Oohphta Oophta, D.J." (or is it "Oophta Oophta, DJ"?) - but it looks
horrible so I don't do it.

2. Some artists seem to have a national name (D.J. Taucher) and an
international name (Diver)

3. Case - I try to enter the case close to the booklet, but this might
result in different artists or track entries, if the database does
distinguish between upper and lower case.
