"Does that mean you or anyone else can upload deliberately bogus metadata? That could really screw everyone over. ;-)"
You are correct. There is no authorization process for databases that I am familiar with. Since my musical tastes are somewhat eclectic, esoteric and/or elitist, I find that many of the disks that I rip are not in any databases. So I put the metadata in myself. If your tastes happen to align, then you had better trust me. :-)
One of the advantages of downloads are that they come complete with metadata. One of the disadvantages is that this metadata often has errors, even though (presumably) it comes from an "authoritative" source.
