They merely affirm him as one who just memorized 100 thousand ahadeeth, and they mistakenly view that a muhadith is just one who just does this act.
No by a longshot, rather a muhadith is one who knows along with this, the isnaad of these narations, the azbaabul-nuzool, nasikh wa mansookh, takhsees and its attributes, usoolu-fiqh, and the likes of the sciences and even tafseer. So the muhadith one who entails all of these knoweldges by whcih al-hamdulillah, he had fulfilled.

akhee,
Exellent point made.
In addition, it is mentioned in his biography from islaam.org.uk:
Shaykh Al-Albani has Ijaza in hadith from the late Allamah Shaykh Muhammad Raghib at-Tabaagh with whom he studied hadith sciences, gaining authority to transmit from him. The Shaykh himself refers to this Ijaza in Mukhtasar al-Uluw (p.72) and in Tahdir as-Sajid (p.63). He has a further Ijaza from Shaykh Bahjatul Baitaar(through whom his isnad stretches back to Imam Ahmad). These are mentioned in the book Hayat Al-Albani (the Life of Al-Albani) by Muhammad ash-Shaibaani. This sort of Ijaza is given only to those who have excelled in hadith and can be trusted to accurately convey a hadith. A copy of the Ijaza is in the possession of his student, Ali Hassan al-Halabi. So it is not correct to say that the Shaykh is self-taught from books, without authority and without Ijaza.
