Tag Error

I am a little OCD when it comes to music tags. I have to have the proper album art, title, artist, etc. embedded into the file. One thing that irritates me is popular markets such as iTunes and Xbox Music have the tags all messed up (this only applies to soundtracks).

Some albums that I purchased through online markets put Original Soundtrack as the artist, when it was really Hans Zimmer of Howard Shore. Don't even get me started on genres. I believe that genres are more insane and messed up than anything. Some of the hundreds of genres to classify what I simply put as Film Soundtracks are: modern classical, film score, score, soundtrack, epic soundtrack, etc.

Genres are very important to me because I like to have my music very organized. It is so much easier to find things this way. 

What are your thoughts?
