Yes! In many cases it is difficult or impossible to find the information
provided and I, at least, would mind quite a lot if it were no longer
routinely provided, especially for new, or seldom-recorded, music. I don't
know what this costs, but I suspect shockingly little. If costs were a
serious problem, I suspect most collectors could get along with fewer
languages, but I won't say which!
