Incorrect autocorrect

They are two separate bands, so yes they will be separated from now on.

I'd recommend you use the Suggest a Correction link on the track pages to auto-correct to correct track pages.

The situation with Mars Volta / The Mars Volta presents something of a dilemma, similar to the one with The Scorpions / Scorpions. In both cases, the second is the correct, official name of the well-known act, the first is often used in practice to refer to the second act but is actually the proper name of a different, lesser known act. Both of these also have the added complication that last.fm has albums (which supposedly come from artist or label affiliated sources) by the second artist under the first name.

This is one of the situations that would be best dealt with by implementing autocorrection of the artist at the track level. Has that been implemented, by the way (for a long time it hadn't been)?

All right, if we're going to talk about autocorrections at the track level, there's one that's been bugging me for a long time.

Can you please fix it so that Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra autocorrects to Richard Strauss - Also sprach Zarathustra? Currently it appears that anything scrobbled to Strauss gets autocorrected to Johann Strauss II, which it really shouldn't when there are two classical composers as highly notable as these two who share the same surname (unlike the situation with Bach or Mozart, both of which are the surnames of multiple classical composers but where one is clearly much more notable than any of the others to the extent that an autocorrection is justifiable). There are other Richard Strauss compositions that should get a similar track-level autocorrection but that one is by far the most popular and well known.

Further complicating the Strauss situation is that there is also a Japanese electronic musician who goes by that name.

Stranger by Trampled by Turtles autocorrects incorrectly to Strangler. Suggested correction but nothing happened.
It looks like Musicbrainz has it wrong - see http://musicbrainz.org/release/5feb85bb-15e1-4333-a2bd-42f7c64c8f6d. Since last.fm takes after Musicbrainz for a lot of its information, I'd recommend submitting a correction to Musicbrainz, and if it doesn't get voted down, it should eventually get propagated back to last.fm.

thank you for fixing the tag. I tested it out using the incorrect name and it automatically changed it. Thanks a bunch!

Reported on the Russian forum, music uploaded to the page Monomo is blighted by incorrect autocorrect to Mondomo.

Those should be correct now. :)

The band Florida autocorrects to Flo Rida.

The a capella group Pentatonix autocorrects to Pentatonik.

double post.

Aloha!

I just want to say, that there's a incorrect autocorrection:

The song "Astronautenlied" is from Shelly Phillips - and the autocorrection changes it in Shelley Phillips, which is wrong!

Thanks a lot
