That way, we'll just get iGracenote problems, no?
Is this that I want the tag to be "this" and not Gracenote ?

I think there was a discussion long ago about that and the final answer was that if one were to allow other databases then anarchy would be the rule.
Overall the database is 99% good. As far as I can tell.

Tnx Bob but I'm not talking chaos I'm talking personalisation: you insert the cd, get the info form Gracenote, then do some corrections (nearly always), then add your own comments in the comment field ... and after a while you've got your own tiny little database ... My plea is (1) for iTunes to allow us to make a separate backup of that file, one you can export & import too, and (2) for iTunes / Gracenote / any other to allow us to write our stuff away in the cloud, maybe even pick some people's versions with comments in the cloud rather than the ones from Gracenote, and so on ... Because Gracenote doesn't share the comments (for fear of chaos, rightly so) ... yet it's where I write whose original version,
which recording date, who produced and featured on the record), for lack of fields for that in iTunes. (We all agree that's poorly designed. (Also the 'official genre list', the one which you get when you upload, is pretty WASP no? Whether you're talking doowop, soul, funk, hiphop ... it's all R&B. Ska, rocksteady, ragga ... it's all reggae. and so on.)
You are talking databases.

In this case YOURS is the one you want to use.
As you can tell, iTunes is made for the 99% crowd. You have gone beyond it's 99% and want more.
Time to look at itunes alternatives?

Much simpler: iTunes allows us to export xml info files per cd, per playlist, per ... Why not?
Is that so?

Does iCloud really allow for our personal cd per cd comments to be saved there? As separate xml files or sth?
if you create the xml files in Pages

you can dump them up there.
Not sure if iTunes can import automatically from there but you can certainly park the file there until you are ready to import

(NT) and there is always Dropbox
