Burning track info

When I burn music to a CD iTunes saves the files with the folowing file names: Track 1, Track 2, etc. How can I get iTunes to save the tracks with the artists/song names?
Thanks!

  • How can I burn music from my iTunes library to CD, while still keeping the track info intact?

    I made several CDs for a friend, but when my friend imported the disc into iTunes none of the track names showed up (it just said "Track 1", "Track 2", etc.) This is annoying because it was 8 CDs worth of music (over 150 songs!)
    Is there a software or any tool I can use that will allow me to burn music for friends, while still keeping the track info intact?

  • Burned CD's display wrong track info and include profanity

    My wife burned a cd for me about a week ago from her itunes library on a 2007 macbook. When I inserted it into my 2007 macbook pro the cd track info was completely different than what she burned. The music was write, just not the track info. We recently tried burning another cd to use at our church for pre-service music. When we imported that cd into the computer the track names and info included profanity in them. A bit embarrassing at that moment. Can someone help me figure out what would cause this issue?

    When a CD is inserted into iTunes, the times of the tracks are analyzed and sent to a service called Gracenote, which attempts to match it with CDs in its database. You had the misfortune that your track pattern matched something different in Gracenote's DB. This is not common but it can occur, especially on CDs with only one or a small number of tracks.
    To avoid the problem, play the CD in a boom-box instead of on your Macbook, so that nothing will display. If you prefer to use your Macbook, get the original files from your wife and play them directly in iTunes. Then you can be sure the correct titles will display.

  • Burning audio over multiple discs - BUT NO TRACK INFO!

    This problem has been occurring for so long I can't believe I've waited this long to vent.
    I went to burn a playlist to audio CD that would need to span three (3) discs. After the 3rd disc burns, I check discs 1 and 2 and neither have ANY track info. Just Track 1, Track 2, ... This does me no good. The track info only burns for the last disc in sequence. This is a repeatable problem and is so terribly annoying that it makes me wish there was a good viable alternative to iTunes.
    Please help if you know any way to prevent this from happening.

    Swank, you will have to edit this information in yourself on the secondary computer. This link explains why burned audio CD's don't have track information on another computer.

  • 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.

  • HT3814 how do i get itunes to keep track info on cds i burn from my itunes library?

    how do i get itunes to keep track info on cds i burn in itunes?

    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.

  • Keep track info when burning cd

    When I burn a playlist to a cd (disk format: audio cd) I loose all track info when I play on a different computer. How can I keep the info?

    Just to be clear, CD-TEXT is sort of considered to be part of the Red Book CD specification (an extension of the standard). From Wikipedia:
    CD-TEXT is an extension of the standard "Red Book" Compact Disc specification, which allows text to be associated with each track. On most disks, this space is used to store the track and album titles as well as the performing artist name. The P and Q subchannels are normally used to store the information. The specification was released in September 1996, and backed by Sony. Support for CD Text is common, but not universal. Utilities exist to automatically rip CD-TEXT data, and insert it into CDDB or freedb.
    I would have to think about this for a minute, but off the top of my head, I think iTunes is the only audio software I use that doesn't support CD-TEXT. Reading it is certainly not a difficult thing to implement, so it would be nice if Apple got around to this at some point, since CD-TEXT has been around for 10 years. Incidentally, I recently bought a new CD-RW drive for my PC, so I ripped all my CDs again with EAC. I was shocked to see how many pressed audio CDs I have with CD-TEXT information. Many of them are from the 90's.

  • Why doesn't my iTunes Library list any  track info.  for the CDs I burn?

    I've bought a new PC and after setting up iTunes i began to copy my CD library back into my new iTunes library on my new computer.
    But when I copy a CD now the only album information that copies is "track 1" "track 2" "track 3" etc. No song titles, no artist names, no album names. No album covers. All of this information was automatically copied from the same CDs on my old computer with a slightly older version of iTunes.
    What's wrong? How can I fix this?

    Are you reimporting the CDs themselves or are you copying over the files from the old computer? I assume the latter.
    If you are copying over the old files from the old computer, what format where they imported as? My guess is that you used AIFF or WAV files? If so, that is the problem. WAV and AIFF files can not store info like artist, track title, etc. like you can with MP3 and AAC files. Instead the iTunes database file (the .itl file on a Windows machine) keeps track of that stuff. If you move the WAV or AIFF files, that information is lost/disconnected.
    Try this and see if it works. Pick all the tracks from an album and then use the Get Track Info command. Since they were originally imported by iTunes, it may work and fetch the proper information.

  • How to sync the album and track info that I entered into a CD using iTunes with the actual disc?

    Hello,
    I recently recorded some cover songs, and I imported them into iTunes. So, after entering the track info (track names and album art) into each track using "Get Info", I burned them to a CD. I was completely shocked that the track info and album artwork did not get inputted onto the CD. So, I entered the track info, but could not add the album artwork.
    How to add the album artwork is not as important a question. But it's one of my 2.75 questions.
    My other issue is that the info that I put on the CD using iTunes is only visible within iTunes. Therefore, I cannot get the track names elsewhere.
    My 2.5 questions are:
    1) How do I get the track and album info to display in Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player (and the touchscreen CD Player in the car)?
    2) How do I add digital album artwork to the CD (so that it shows on the touchscreen CD Player in the car - if iPods have the artwork and it shows on the car's screen, a CD should be able to show the artwork on the car's screen, when talking about limitations of the car)
    2.5) How do I make that artwork display across everywhere I plug that disc into?
    2.75) How do I ensure that when others import my CD, my artwork, track names, and album name also import from the CD?
    I have already burnt the CD, so I would prefer a way to tweak the properties of the already burnt CD rather than burning a whole new disc.
    Thank you!
    -Royce

    1) Metadata visibility in Windows Explorer and/or Windows Media Player depends on OS version and file type. The mp3 format has the widest support. As for the touchscreen CD Player in your car who can say? If it can play data discs the results will be better than with audio CD. If it can display CD text then this option should be selected when creating an audio CD.
    2) Artwork cannot be attached to the tracks on an audio CD. If your car system supports it all then it will be with data discs. Check the specifications of the system for the media types it can support on a data disc.
    2.5) Simply ensure the artwork is embedded in the tag.
    I have two scripts that can help with this, CreateFolderArt and EmbedFolderArt.
    The scripts have a slightly different purpose.
    CreateFolderArt ensures that every album folder ends up with a Folder.jpg image which is the art that iTunes already knows about. Side effects are that if artwork has been updated in iTunes the folder art should be updated also, and if any track from the album doesn't have embedded artwork it gets embedded.
    EmbedFolderArt was actually written for someone who already had various artwork images stored in the folders and wanted them added to their tracks, but not if iTunes had already downloaded a better quality image.
    2.75) Again, use a data disc format. Note that you should not be giving away copies of copyrighted material.
    Audio CDs are finalized, you cannot change any properties of them unless they are on rewritable media in which case you can erase the whole disc and start over.

  • ITunes CDs -not title or track info is on cd

    I can create CDs from iTunes but can't find why iTunes doesn't also save the title and track info on the burned CDS. I wanted to create a CD backup of my iTunes but now have CDs with unknown titles and unknow tracks

    I suppose you are burning AudioCDs: Track information are simply not part of CDDA definitions.
    I order to backup your audio tracks without loosing any information switch iTunes burning preferences to DATA CD/DVD.

  • Missing track info

    Hello readers,
    I made a mix cd for my friend on itunes and when she tried to import the cd onto her itunes all of the track info was missing.
    Is there anyway to keep the song info when making a mix cd?
    If there is not; If she re-types all the info manually will the info be on the cd if she were to lend it to another friend?
    I apologize if that sounds choppy, it is late.
    Thanks for reading my questions, if you have any input feel free to respond.

    Hello there,
    It might be the case that you need to burn an MP3 CD (instead of just an audio CD) if you want to keep all the track info.
    Hope this helps

  • CDDB track info

    anyone out there know how i can get track names to songs that are already on my hard drive? the only way i know is to burn a copy and get it that way. any tips on going around this long process.
    thanks.
    gianni...

    You can get track info on files that have already been imported into itunes. You don’t have to always do it from a CD. If the files were imported with itunes to begin with. Then all you have to do is select all of the tracks for that CD. And go to the "Advanced" menu and select "Get CD Track Names". It will ask if you want to get CDDB information for multiple items. Select "OK" and off you go. Itunes is going to treat the tracks like they are a CD.
    I hope this helps. I was thrilled when originally I found this out.

  • How do I associate playlist track info with a "blank" CD?

    iTunes 6 "quit unexpectedly" when it had just finished burning a 25-track CD, but before it had time to associate the track listing info in my playlist with the actual disc.
    So now I have a "blank" Audio CD on my desktop with just Track 1 / Track 2 etc. As I still have the playlist, how do I "associate" the track info in the playlist with the CD itself? I don't want to manually copy and paste Artist / Title / Album 25 times over, so how can I do this?
    This is urgent as I want to delete the tracks in my iTunes Library now I have the CD.
    iMac G5 17" 1.5Gb RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    You will either have to manually edit all the info for the 'blank' CD, or (perhaps easier) you could just delete it an burn a new CD.

  • Problem finding track info

    While visiting a friend, I burned a stack of cds on his computer from his itunes. All of the track info was displayed in his itunes. However, any cd that I burned with tracks from more than one album shows Track 01, Track 02, etc. and says the info could not be found online. Yet I know they're in the gracenote database.
    The track info displays fine on the discs that contain only one album, but not if tracks came from more than one. I'd rather not have to enter the info manually, and he lives half way across the country. Any ideas? Thank you

    Gracenotes determines that track information by looking at the table of contents of the CD which acts as a fingerprint of sorts to determine which album it MIGHT be. So in other words, you insert the CD and Gracenotes looks for an album with, for example, 10 tracks (that narrows it down a lot) with an over all length of 32 minutes and 58 seconds (that narrows it down considerably) with track one being 2:48, track two being 1:20, .... etc. As you can see, this usually narrows it down to which album it is, as there is unlikely to be multiple albums with the exact same table of contents lengths.
    So when you were stealing music from your friend's computer, if you added or subtracted any tracks or changed the order of the track, then the TOC no longer matches and Gracenotes can not determine which albums you stole. So you will just have to manually enter in the information for the stolen music.
    Now had you BOUGHT the CDs, you wouldn't have this issue.

  • 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.
