Misidentifying songs in Continuous Listen #20

Open jbwharris opened 2 years ago

I've encountered this issue for awhile and I'm not sure there's anything that can be done as my guess is it's an ACRCloud issue, but I've found that certain songs just get misidentified. But not just misidentified, there's a pattern to it. The song TBC 7 by The Green Dolphins is Everything's Electric by Liam Gallagher, a mainstream artist with a new single, so I'd figure it would be a slam dunk to identify. But it comes up as that, after taking 4 different cracks at identifying it. And weirdly, that song just doesn't exist, but does turn up a search engine result from Spotify.

Now another example that I've encountered that will repeatedly misidentify is We Are Between by Modest Mouse. It'll get the song name right, but then show the artist in Japanese. This is somewhat easily reconciled these days with last.fm's ability to remember corrections, but seems to happen on a semi regular basis. I know I've seen it with other songs, but those are 2 I know for sure. The other songs are harder to identify if they're not songs I know well enough to offhand know it's incorrect.

I'm not sure if there's anything to this at all other than ACRCloud just messing up, but I thought it worth mentioning.
