99% of
songs posted on the Internet are improperly named and tagged, including CDs.
Common mistakes:
1. Many tags are added to Filename. Use
a clean, consistent format like Artist - Title or Artist - Album - Track -
Title. Artist and Title are obligatory, do not add other tags, such as Year,
Genre, etc., add them to internal tags (metadata).

2. The Filename differs from the
internal tag (metadata) that shows in music players. Very often content of internal
tag does not correspond to its description, e.g. tag described as Title
contains both Title and Artist.
3. Do not add “& The Group” in both
Filename and Artist tag – all songs are recorded with The Group of musicians,
except acapella, and adding “& The Group” does not add any information.
In Artist tag, use ampersand (&) and short-form abbreviations (w. or w/; ft.), Forename Surname & ...

If The Artist has recorded the same song title on more than one occasion. it is sometime needed to put which version it is. This is why original label issue & year help for me as well as Alt take number. help with my search in my music player for a certain take.
Absolutely right. I add such info in Filename. I advise to add Author to Filename, not only Title.
