Organizing and Sorting with LaunchDB

Absolutely love Launch/Big Box so far! I'm still grinding through the process of making a library of games and while I have gotten pretty far (12,000 sorted), my back is getting sore.  It's a lot of grunt work.

Does anyone have any tips/tricks to ensure all titles scrape properly and sync up with LaunchDB? Roms love to have weird names, especially Japanese ones, that need an adjustment or two (or three) to get LaunchDB to pull the art/videos.

The best system I have come up with so far is to copy+paste the title ID into google, and if I find a slightly different match - I paste that back in, resend request to LaunchDB and do that until I get a match.  If not, I find screenshots and info manually and put it in (blegh).  For homebrews and public domain weird stuff I just put zz{Homebrew/PD/etc.} in front of the title to hide it at the back, rather then try to find something because I have no idea how to find any of that stuff's data on LBDB.

At first I assumed everyone did it this way but now I'm starting to wonder (also the Super Famicom library I have is a nightmare). Thanks!
