Here are some artist specific links where meta data and recording dates for more than 95% of the tracks are given:

• http://www.tango.info/?q=0248000276 D'Arienzo
• http://www.tango.info/?q=02480002720 Angel D'Agostino
• http://www.tango.info/?q=02480002721 Angel Vargas
• http://www.tango.info/?q=02480002713 Francisco Lomuto

Two large sets that still need meta data checking:

• http://www.tango.info/?q=0248000274 Canaro
• http://www.tango.info/?q=0248000278 Gardel

More artist specific links can be found at TINO#02480002.

Tango.info hopes to improve browsing through the images in the future.
