I wish the administrators would fix the long-standing problems with the site. For example, Chinatown was composed by Jerry Goldsmith. It says so on the official releases. So why do they put "Philip Lambro, rejected score" with and before the actual composer Jerry Goldsmith? Lambro and rejected score doesn't belong there at all. That belongs on the Lambro CD.
It's exactly where it should be; we don't need to separate pages for the same film just because one composer had a score replaced.
The actual problems I have found (off the top of my head) on the site include:
Incorrect years on films/series.
Episodes of TV series listed as separate entries.
Incorrectly spelled film/TV series names, even using working titles (suggesting somebody in the industry going by their memory of notes, etc., or maybe people in the estate of a deceased composer).
TV series listed as TV movies, making adding series composers awkward for the page.
Separate pages for compilations.
No way to add a new title. You can only submit releases to a title already listed.

SoundtrackCollector.com is certainly not a perfect website, but it's an enormous help for me and it's completely free!
Perfectly agree, same here.

You say "It's exactly where it should be; we don't need to separate pages for the same film just because one composer had a score replaced." You misconstrue. You're not separating pages for the same film. Leave the entries for different composer's on the film page. But only put the name of the composer on the CD who composed it. Lambro's name doesn't belong on Goldsmith's CD. Only Goldsmith's name belongs on Goldsmith's CD.
Then I would assume you didn't look at the page. Lambro's CD is listed, too. The top listing is for all composers for the title, not who is credited on one CD. Just like a TV series release may feature efforts of some composers, like "CHiPs", but not all of them yet all the compsoers who contributed are at the top.
When I look at my CD's on my homepage collection, I'm looking at my collection, not the individual film's page. I don't want to see Lambro's name on somebody's else score.
Well, that's a coding issue -- you want to address that with the site owner. But my advice is simply get over it, because it would be harder to amend the old site than do that, likely.

To Justin Boggan:
You assume wrong.
Basic library science provides simple solutions for all the discography and indexing problems at the site.
As for taking up coding issues with the site owner, that's the whole point. This is an observation, not a judgment: the site owner doesn't respond to input. People offer new CD's and new images all the time, but they are ignored. Get that simple fact into your head.
Try to make a distinction between the film's page and the various CD's entered on it. Lambro composed the score on only one CD of CHINATOWN, but his name appears on every Goldsmith CD that is moved into a homepage listing. If you think this is correct, you can't be reasoned with.
Further, Lambro's name should be taken off the film's page, since he did not compose the score on the film. His score was rejected. It wasn't used. It was never put on the film in the first place. Therefore LOGIC dictates that he did not compose the score on the film. Therefore take his name off the film page but leave it on the CD which carries his score and only on the CD which carries his score. That would be correct. The same error is repeated numerous times for other titles across the site. Additionally, a CD compilation of scores will appear numerous times on your homepage-listing instead of only once, another cataloging error across the site.
I'm not hung about it. Not in the least. I mentioned it in passing but when a snipe like yourself tells me off for making a point and offering a helpful suggestion I am put into the position of having to explain and defend it. You're the one who needs to get over it.
