Burned CD Track Names

Hi I am having trouble getting track names on cd in Waveburner. I am using a 17" Macbook Pro with an external burner. I have checked the burner with drutil info. It shows that it does write CDText. And, I see the track names when I use drutil cdtext. I am using my car stereo(which does show cd text) to check for the text. Discs that I burn in Waveburner do now show any text in my car. However, cds that I burn on my pc using CD Architect do show cd text. So, for now, I have to burn my masters in CD Architect to show the text. I think I have the settings in Waveburner set correctly to burn text, but there could be something I missed. Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks to all for the info, we are getting close.
So, iTunes has to look up the info that is registered with Gracenote. I went to their site and will go through their registration process, but what about everybody else in the world. I can't believe that everybody has to be hooked up to the web and look up in some distant database to get track names to show up. Aren't they there in the subcode? What about someone playing the CD in a car? What about all the PC people in the world, (there still are a few)? Waveburner is supposed to be a "Mastering" program isn't it? That's all I want to do without paying a grand for someone else to "master" it for me. (mastering engineers do a great job I know, I mastered records with John Golden at K-Disc Mastering in LA back in the day, now I just want to do it myself in my own studio) I want to burn small quantities of our projects (100 or so) ourselves to sell at gigs and as promo copies. And then as a project gathers a little momentum, go to a regular duplication place for larger runs. Does anybody know if WB will do that, and have the names show up just as other commercial disc do? (not in iTunes) Thanks again for everyones input.

Track names and other data not showing up in CD burned in iTunes

Made a playlist today from songs in my library which have all data, selected "write CD text" in the burn dialogue box,burned the CD. When I reinserted into my computer and it mounted in iTunes there was no track or other info,title was "audio CD" and iTunes tried to connect to Gracenotes where, of course, the info was not found.
This is a new problem. Previous playlists burned to disc always had the info.
Just for fun I burned the playlist in Toast 8.0.4 (the latest version my iMac PPC can run), and again checked the box to have the CD text burned to the disk.
Again when I reinserted the CD burned in Toast all I got was "audio CD", the correct number of tracks and no other info.
Has something changed in iTunes recently?
TIA

Anyone?
per HT3814:
Remembering audio CDs you burn
iTunes also "remembers" every audio CD you burn. However, the CD and track names are not burned onto the CD itself. If you insert the burned audio CD into another computer, or even log in as another user, the CD will be titled "Audio CD", and will have generic track names. Since the track length and the overall CD length is the same as the store-bought album, iTunes finds the information for the store-bought album when it looks the CD up online.
So why does this no longer work on my iMac?
It DID work for a playlist from multiple ripped CD's a year or so ago--has this changed in the newer iterations of iTunes?

No track names on burned cd's.

why aren't the track names and info transfering to the cd's when i burn playlists?

Because audio CDs do not have track names or other info.

Burn Purchased Music CD No Track Names

I'm upgrading a few purchased songs to iTunes + and want to copy them to a second authorized PC. The track names show up on the CD when I burn them on the first PC but when I insert the CD into the second PC, I get the msg "Could not find track names, do you still want to import them?" Looks like GraceNote trys to name but cannot. I have the Audio CD and Text boxes checked when I burn. How can I get the track names, etc without manually typing them. TIA

I will not be able to play the Data CD on any other cd player?
No, a data CD, since it's just computer data, cannot be played on any normal CD player. CD players with some exceptions can only play Redbook-standard audio CDs, which is what iTunes burns when you select the Audio CD option.
basically the Data burning is used for transferring songs from one itunes library to another.
Burning as a data CD is for transfer and for making backups.
The audio is used for having a cd to play outside of itunes.
For playing on any player that can only handle standard CDs. This could include a home or car CD player, a DVD player (many if not all of which can play audio CDs), or some other computer that doesn't have a player that can handle the format of the tracks (particularly the copy protection on some tracks from the iTunes Store).

When I burn a disc from a playlist in iTunes, the track names and artist info does not display on the disc when friends view/listen to it. This probably is an easy fix, but I need some advice.

No, this standard has been implemented for several decades.
How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
It is just conceivable you burned a CD that exactly matched one already in the Gracenote database. Gracenote uses track count and duration to decide what CD it is you have in a computer. If you have one that matches that it will label it. You could conceivably even have one that matches it that is not the correct one.
This script will only work on Macs:

After downloading the latest version of iTunes, I cannot get track names to appear when burning a cd from my playlists. Any ideas, please??????

What gives? I cannot get track names to appear on recently burned cd's. Just downloaded latest version of iTunes. I'm at a total loss. Have Googled- tried several things to no avail.

Go to the iTunes folder (it is in Music folder) and do this:
1. Back up your music
2. Delete "iTunes Library.itl". Then, open iTunes again and it should work

HT203164 how do i get track names transferred to CD burned from itunes?

teh equestion has it all - if i burn playlists I gte track 1, 2 etc and not names from playlists

It still is simple, but as always you get the track names before you import the CD. iTunes has a preference setting so it will always do that or you can re-identify a CD using a menu item (see below). Once they are imported there is no way in iTunes to get the identification service to work. There are third party services that work outside of iTunes but for a single CD it is easier to just reimport the whole thing after correctly identifying first.

Burning CDS and Getting Track Names

HELP! I cannot figure out how to get track names on CDS that I burn. Instead all i get is TRACK 1, Track 2...
What setting needs to be changed on the latest version????

Have you posted this question twice? When you click the "Burn" button a window will come up. You can select the box for "included CD text". However, it is possible that it still won't work as is the case for me. I'm trying to find an answer but finding only aggravation as usual when I need support for iTunes.

When i burn a playlist to CD, how to get the track names on the CD?

When i burn a playlist to a CD, the tracks are all there and play just fine. But when i look at the track names on the CD, they're just "Track 1", "Track 2" etc. the tracks on the playlist itself are all named with fulll information. How can i burn the CD so the track info will be included?

Try changing the Disc format to Audio CD in iTunes preferences.
If you burn it as a data CD, it will only be playable on computers (and a small number of other players).

Audio CD doesn't burn track names

I am backing up some purchased music onto an audio CD, when I burn the CD it doesn't hold onto the track names and if I insert the CD my other computer it says the track name isn't available do I want to submit them. I know the track names are available because I bought the Music in iTunes and it's in the charts, why does my computer not burn the track info when itt's burning the CDs?
I know they are protected AAC tracks but I have never had this prroblem before.
Is it a preference setting thing?
I also had to authorise the computer to play them even though I downloaded them into this computer, might it be that way back whenever I set up an iTunes account I had a different mac??
Mac Pro and Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The Audio CD format doesn't contain song info data at all. If you want to keep track names and other song info, you should burn your CD as a data CD.
Data CDs are good for backups and for moving files from one computer to another. Audio CDs are good for playing in regular CD players.
Of course, some advanced CD players are able to play MP3s off of Data CDs.

When burning CD from Playlist - No Track Names or CD Title

After the new update installed iTunes doesn't bun the CDs with a title or track names. What happened. The playlist is named and all tracks have information. This is not copyprotected material. Worked until the update.

It sounds like you are having a similar problem to the one I was having when I was downloading my cds to itunes. The whole album would download but some of the songs would be on a different thumbnail instead of in the same album. Although the albums had the "artist" listed already it would still go to a separate thumbnail. It took me a while to search and figure it out through trial and error but if you right click on the album and when the tab pops up you go to "get info" and select "yes" you want to "edit information for multiple items" you must input the "album artist" and it will automatically import it into the correct album it originally came from. Some of them you have to input the information manually through the "get info". Hope this helps!!!

Track names won't copy and can't be found

I burned an album (fleetwood mac) from my old laptop to a disk - all tracks are correctly named. I copy the disk to my new laptop with itunes and my new itouch but the track names won't copy and when I search for them they are not found on itunes. so instead of song titles, I have track 1, track 2, etc on my new laptop even though the cd I burned has the song names. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
don

Couple ways to do it.
Best way is burn a Data disc. All the info i part of the song file itself and will transfer when you copy the file.
Another way is after you burn the CD in your old computer, select the CD then go to menu Advanced -> *Submit CD track names*.
This will send the info to Gracenote and when you insert the CD on a different computer, iTunes will look it up and put in the correct info.

How do I get iTunes to provide track names on home recorded music?

How do I get iTunes to provide track names when I burn a CD of home recorded music?

Audio CDs do not contain track information. For commercial CDs this information is supplied by the Gracenote service (see below). Each computer gets this information for a particular CD from this service, it isn't on the CD. You would have to register your CD with Gracenote. In my opinion this is a bit much for a personal CD that only a few computers in the world will ever see, but I guess unless they block it then you can do it.

ITunes burned CD track info does not show in another mac.

iTunes burns a CD of imported LPs. Track info was entered with Audacity, saved as aiff and then imported into iTunes . The track info shows up in my car CD player but not another mac. Any suggestions?

Update: after trying 6 discs that failed, the next few worked fine. Both iTunes and Finder displayed the actual disk name and track names. However, going back to the previously failed disks did not change the outcome. They still failed. That worked for another 6 or so disks, then this morning I ran across another one that got looked up in iTunes, but not in Finder.

How to display track name in iTunes

I've burned CDs with track titles using Toast 10. When played in a car sound system, track names are displayed.
iTunes display Track 01, 02 etc and not the name. As they are not commercial discs, I cannot use Gracenotes.
I've seen Microsoft automatically display track names (using a different disc) and so I was looking for a similar thing in iTunes.
How do I get iTunes to display the CD track names, not Track 01, 02 etc, just like a car sound system?
I'm using iTunes 10.6.1.
Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks Limnos.
Not sure about this. CD tracks used .wav format (needed to use it so my old windows XP computer could use them).
I suspect you've answered my question when you say iTunes does not support CD-text.
I selected Toast's Add CD-Text. I don't know if it's the same as your mentioned CD-text. As I know nothing of CD-text, if you know what it is, can you please briefly explain it to me?
Even though you say CDs do not contain track information, it must be stored on the CD somehow for the car sound system to display it as it has no internetconnection.
