So, I was importing the music from the Age of Empires II: Conquerers Expansion CD (sure, go ahead and laugh at me for listening to video game music, everyone else does ;-) and, of course, it is two tracks. One is a data track and the other is a music track (the one I imported).

Well, the music track is titled "DJ Jubilee" and the artist is labeled as "Various Artists." I was wondering who the heck DJ Jubilee was, and who all the "various artists" were, etc. etc. I found DJ Jubilee on Amazon and various other places (however he's not on Wikipedia, which is strange); it seems he has absolutely no connection to the game whatsoever. Nor could I find any information about the game's soundtrack or the artists.

Is it just Microsoft's subtle way of promoting their favorite rapper, or what? If anyone can find any of this information you would have $50,000 CBD and my admiration ;-)

Don't know where you got DJ Jubilee from, I didn't find anything connecting him to the game :x

DJ Jubilee is the title (not artist) of the 30-some minute song of songs after I import it. I couldn't find any connection either :-/

you sure? Because according to wikipedia that isn't so.

I've checked every resource on the subject. The only thing I can find out for sure is the soundtrack is credited to Microsoft.

I'm not finding where you got DJ Jubilee from.

When you import CDs to iTunes, it automatically finds a match online and fills in the artists/albums/other data for you. When I imported that song from the AoE CD, it filled in "DJ Jubilee" for the song title. I thought maybe it had found the wrong song online at first (its happened before) but since it filled in "Age of Empires" for the album I decided that wasn't the case.

I am perfectly aware the correct title is "Subatai Defeats The Knights Templar" according to Wikipedia, but I still want to know where the heck iTunes got DJ Jubilee from ;-)

ITunes gets lots wrong. All it takes is one person to fill in the wrong information - hitting paste in a field where they shouldn't have, or letting ITunes auto fill the field. Then they forward their information to the online database and bang - there you go.

I imported a CD of some of my bands tunes into ITunes recently and it got automatically labelled as Kylie Minogue. Trust me, neither myself or my singer are remotely like Kylie....
