That is your decision.  
Perhaps you use another information source like discogs or beatport - for these sources there are scripts to find something by artist and title.  
Whether you will get the correct information then is still a question as it is not clear whether you have the original version, the radio or video edit, the live version, the one for greatest hits or on the best music sampler, the re-issue, the maxi version and so on.  
Only in the context of an album a track becomes identifiable.
