How do you get it to tell you your score? It keeps telling me I have to score at least 60.

it should tell you your current score in the top corner it updates everytime you get one right.

You have to put the artist in the top slot and the album title in the bottom. Also, maybe case sensitivity applies? I'm not sure.

I looked over it, and from what I've seen, I could name about 20-30 of them.

This thing either has to be CAPS sensetive or retarded, because theres at least fifteen on there I KNOW for a FACT I got right and it isnt counting them.

Ditto. I'm wondering how anal it is over specific titles, because I'm screaming at the screen for a few here.

Foo Fighters - "One by One"
AC/DC - "Back in Black" (although in order to get that one to work, you have to omit the "/")
Beastie Boys - "To the 5 Boroughs" (except you have to type "Five", not "5", in order to get it to work)
The Beatles - "Revolver"
Led Zeppelin - "III" (although, to get it to work, you have to type the title as "Led Zeppelin III")
