My experiments with it when i was exchanging ideas with Ashley Cox convinced me I couldn't trust this automation to markup my classical music collection. I had to intervene manually in many cases. I would expect it to work best with genres such as pop and rock.

I haven't tried CD-Text, will give it a go today. I normally rip on the desktop and manually tag with mp3tag and transfer with winscp over to moOde.

As for not trusting automation, I agree. I have an album that fails to tag using MusicBrainz and CDDB. Neither of these services come back with a genre. Why, I don't know?
What I do know is that with no genre, the function do_tag() in abcde assumes a tag id of 255. This causes eyeD3 to somehow forget all the other tags except for the cover art.
I am going to modify my code to return the genre as 'other' as a default if there is no genre returned from any of the tagging services.
