Enter the information manually with MP3Tag.  (It works with all the popular formats, not just MP3).  Or you can usually edit the metadata with your audio player application.

...Frequently, I don't like something about the automatically-entered data and I'll end-up editing it with MP3Tag.

For CD's like that, just click "tag source" then "Discogs release ID", enter 447113, from the Discogs URL, now the tagging dialouge will appear

For clarification, @TuNk77   is referring to MP3Tag (not EAC) in the above post.
AFAIK the steps provided also require a Discogs user account.

@leofrav
You didn't provide information about which version of EAC you are using.
You didn't state if you were new to EAC or had some experience with the program.

1. Select provider. (you can try them all)
2. Get CD Information.
