How to reset Gracenote 'Download Music Info' after it messed up

Hi, I recently started using the Walkman on my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and used the 'Download Music Info' provided by Gracenote. I ticked the 'Replace Existing Information' box and after it downloaded all the album arts, it has also messed up the artist tags - for albums with more than one featuring artist, it has generated a separate entry in the Artists section for each one, so, for example, the artist previously listed as Clean Bandit, now has about 10 entries with Clean Bandit ft. Stylo G, Clean Bandit ft. Elisabeth Troy, etc. etc.
With a collection of several thousand songs by hundreds of artists it has made using the Walkman app impossible!
Is there any way to reset the mess Gracenote has caused? I've looked and the ID3 tags are intact, and I have also followed instructions from several other forums, suggesting deleting folders in Android/data/com.sonyericsson.music and other similar folders, and have literally wiped out every file and folder relating to music that was modified in the last 24 hours, from both internal storage and my microSD card. I've cleared data on Walkman and the Download Music Info app, disabled them and reenabled them and restarted countless times, all to no avail.
Surely there must be something that can be done to fix this other than hard resetting the phone?
I'm guessing there are residual files on the /system/ or /data/ partition that, if deleted, would fix this, but I don't want to root my phone to get access to them.
Is it worth trying to get Sony to release a patch or fix, or am I missing something that could fix it?
Thanks in anticipation

How do I retrieve my music library after a complete computer crash. I have a backup on a flash drive and I can access my Itunes account but my play lists and music are gone.

How do you retrieve downloaded music and playlists after a complete computer crash. I can log into my Itunes account and make purchases but my music library is gone. I have an external backup on a flash drive but for some reason the music does not show up there either. It's like I have a brand new account and have to start all over. Itunes must have an archive I can access to get my music back, right?

Playlists should be part of your backup copy.
You can redownload some purchases in some countries:

Download music info error

After downloading music info in Walkman for xperia z, some of the info is in chinese, not english...I have turned off the chinese keybord in settings. Any suggestions?

this problem shouldn't be related to your Android Software if you are using the Xperia Walkman, but if the Stock ROM is not in the same location and you're not using xperia walkman, the software can contact a different server for tagging the music, probably replying with a different native language

Z3 C Walkman Download Music Info - nothing downloads! App just prepares then crashes...

'Download music info' is initiated to update my music, but the download never actually goes past preparing and the app crashes 100% of the time.

Strange,see if the same occurs in safe mode:

Download Music Info crashes

I am using Xperia Z3. The download music info always crash when it reaches about 200/300 songs. However, when I have only 1 song in the list, it downloaded successfully. So the problem is the songs I have in the storage or the Walkman?

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Since one song works properly, I do not think it's something wrong with the service. I suspect that the metadata for a song may be corrupt or that the song contains a symbol that is not correct. You can always try to scan the id3 tags via our program Media GO to see if you can find which song that may cause this issue. You can find Media GO in PC Companion:

Walkman artist picture incorrect when using "download music info"

Hi all,
I uploaded some music using media go, but the artist picture when i used the "download music info" is the wrong one. I uploaded them all on media go but it did not download according, need help to fix it up!
Thanks

The reason for that is that the album or artist info was wrong on those music files, you have 2 options
1. edit one by one
or
2. on your PC > open WMP > album > right click > find album info > once its done transfer it to your phone with Media Go

Download music info is inaccurate

Hi everyone,
So I used the "download music info" function to add up missing info for my songs. The function did well for about 90% of the song, but the 10% left, well, the name is completely changed into somthing else. For example: Call me maybe ~~> This kiss
I wonder if anyone has encountered this problem? Is there anyway to undo the process ?

The best way to do this is to re-transfer all your music through media go, also the way I do it:
on the PC > open WMP > look for the album > right click the album > find album info > once it has the correct info copy/paste/drag the album/folder to your internal storage or SD card
