The internal database was last updated in 2004. The "on-line" database comes from FreeDB which depends on user input to update it and the artist names are stored in Firstname Lastname order, where in Hoster we use a Lastname, Firstname order.
With all that said, when you import from your CDs if they come up as Unknown with both databases then you have to type in the information. Just click on the "Unknown" in the block and type in the correct information. Also when using the On-line database check and make sure it hasn't changed the Brand and Disk-ID to something other than what you entered. If it has, then change it back before you import or it won't be included correctly in the header.
