Only a song found is a song licensed. In big music databases, many great songs will be left undiscovered due to differences in metadata. Whether that is caused by several people with different interpretations working on your catalogue, or because you acquired external catalogues with different metadata, it is very likely that your music library also suffers from this issue in some way.
