Could it be time to move out of information management?

I know that I am a sad, sad individual but I think I hit an all time low, even for myself. I have spent today online, downloading music and going through my external hard drive. Such embarrassments lurk on it, and so many albums with inadequate labelling. Yes, so that is what I have been doing. Scrounging online for the track listings and updating where I can. You'd think it would be simple, but no, some of the albums are not there. Some have American and UK editions, and some have other random things appended to them. Some have one less track on them than appears on the track listing online, and some I have no idea of who or what it is. It's not my fault, I got a whole lot of stuff from other peoples' computers dammit! How am I supposed to sort all this out? I'm up to E and I already have several unsolved mysteries. It is 9 something in the evening, I have work tomorrow, and I don't think I am going to get it all done. In all liklihood I will obsess about it all week and spend next weekend doing the same.
Maybe some self analysis is in order. What exactly am I trying to avoid? Or is it burgeoning OCD?
