One example I've found where I disagree irreconcilably with Musicbrainz, is the Marilyn Manson track known as "Spade" or "♠".
I prefer the "♠" spelling, while MB prefers the "Spade" spelling because they don't like to use Unicode in tags where it can be avoided. Thus I prefer to use my info for myself, rather than theirs, and a local cache is the way to do this. In this case, neither of us are "wrong", we just have a different perspective on it.
I also tend to rip my CDs more than once, as I generally rip to OGG but sometimes want something in MP3 or FLAC for some reason. Sometimes rips screw up because I have the wrong settings, or random other reasons. I prefer not to have to make my changes over and over.
