When ripping from CD, an album is, so to speak, a known quantity, and an identifying digital 'signature' can be calculated and compared with the CD being ripped. The chances are that your files will not conform to any known pattern, and data entry cannot be automated, or is at best only partially successful.

I don't think this is how it works. I believe most rippers look at the exact lengths of all the tracks on the CD to attempt to identify which album is being ripped. This can very occasionally lead to "false positive" matches.
