When I had the applescript mishap about a month back, I lost the song names for somewhere around 1800 tracks or so. Which obviously hurts, but is luckily, most of them are repairable. However, a few albums aren’t immediately salvageable. I still have the music, the artists, album names and track order of course, but without the track names it’s just not the same.
This is a list of the albums that aren’t quite as easy to fix as most of the commercial crap that I otherwise have in my iTunes library. If you have access to track name information for any of these albums, by all means, get in contact with me.
- Edward Scissorhands (26 Tracks Extended)
- Blade Runner (2 Disc Computer Game ‘Bootleg’)

Wow, quite impressive response time there Christoffer.
Michael, that Dune game soundtrack is excellent. I’ve been looking for it for ages.
Like what was mentioned before, you’re going to want to try iEatBrains or another MusicBrainz alternative. It does basically a fingerprint of the music and will determine the name of the song – it requires nothing but the audio. No filename, tags, or anything else is required to determine the name of the music. It’s always been useful for determining mis-labels that come off p2p networks.
Joen, whch of the Dune soundtracks are you talking about specifically? I like them all, but I’ve gotta go with the album release of Toto’s Dune if I had to choose.
As for MusicBrainz, it sucks.
Michael, I was actually referring specifically to the game adaptation – that is the one you have too, right?
Toto’s is great as well. I actually played the game prior to seeing the movie, so I bought the soundtrack thinking it was for the game. Not the case, even though the movie soundtrack is good as well.
have you tried FreeDB? A lot of tools can use it.
Dune the Game Soundtrack:
01 Spice Opera – 4:54
02 Emotion Control – 4:26
03 Ecolove – 5:08
04 Water – 3:13
05 Revelation – 6:07
06 Free Men – 6:33
07 Wake Up – 5:51
08 Dune Theme – 5:14
09 Chanis Eyes – 5:07
10 Sign Of The Worm – 3:52
11 Too – 4:33
12 Dune Variation – 6:28
13 Cryogenia – 4:47
