How to get track names??

how do i get cd info-track names artists etc. when i put in cd and connected to internet itunes will still not connect to gracenote to get info-i have other friends with same problem who just type in all the info. having spent a small fortune on i phone i want it to get all the info and artwork rather than my music all being a mess. why is i tunes so hard??
everything is ticked so no reason why it shouldn't connect to gracenote. my old i river software on this same laptop has no problems connecting to gracenote.
could it be anything to do with my norton security and if it is what do i change on the settings on that?? this is driving me nuts!!!!

yes thats all ticked correctly. even when click on get track names it does nothing-its not even thinking about anything. i've had various friends look at it and can not come up with a solution. its like gracenote is not linked to my itunes at all.

Getting track names for already transferred CDs

Had 1 to 1 session, technician explained how to get track names from Cds already transferred to MacBook pro. Can't recall procedure, is there a "walk thru" demo out there?

Yes, it did help, appreciate the hint re: right click! When I was at Apple Store, had my macally compact mouse which has right click capability. The mouse I use at home, or should say used to use, was not a right click device. I have purchased a wireles right click mouse, problem solved! So long as we're on the subject, I understand there is a way to have right click function with trackpad on MacBook pro, and chance you can explain that to me?? Thanks Much!

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.

iTunes prefs > Advanced.
Tick Always get CD track names from internet.
If you have already imported, select the tracks in iTunes, then iTunes menu Advanced > Get CD track names.

Fix for getting track names from GraceNote.

Finally found a Windows fix for getting iTunes to get track names from GraceNote (see below). It works!!!
Fixing iTunes CDDB lookup - more details
Since Apple’s forums don’t seem to support permalinks, the hint I previously posted about fixing iTunes for Windows’ connection to CDDB isn’t complete. Here’s how to reestablish connection to CDDB if your track lookups start failing:
Quit iTunes for Windows.
In Internet Explorer, go to Tools | Internet Options, click on the Connections tab, and click on the LAN Settings button.
In the dialog that follows, uncheck the checkbox about using a proxy. Hit OK, then OK again.
Open RegEdit and look for the following key: HKEYLOCALUSER\Software\CDDB\Control\2.0. Delete this key.
Open iTunes and insert the CD. iTunes should now be able to connect to CDDB again—at least, until it forgets again later...
If necessary, reenable your proxy settings.

What happened to command to get track names

I'm using iTunes 11.01 on OS 10.6.8 having just recently downloaded the updated iTunes. What happened to the advanced menu and the command to get track names and infor? I ripped some CD's while I was offline, and now I cana't figure out how to access the Gracenote Database to get the track names. This is a serious omission in the new version.

It is still there. Right mouse click on a song or group of songs and select Get Track names

ITunes cannot get track names

hi community,
although this subject is one often talked about, I have to reask it because my parameters are different from the other discussions.
Frist seen this error was when I transferred my music files per "home-sharing"-function between my MacbookPro (with CD-drive) and my iMac (without). After transferring while using >home-sharing > song-selection > "import" > importsettings as everytime (wave, 48kHz, Stereo, 16-bit) I tried to update the songnames and the artwork by "get album artwork" (worked fine) and "get track names" (error appeared).
So I was sad about not getting my music files working correctly on my iMac without buying an external drive, because "remote disk" is unable to share music and video cds/dvds.
So I thought about completing my music on my MBP (Snow Leopard) and transferring manually by copying and importing (that worked for some other files before).
I inserted the cd, started importing with settings above. After importing I saw that the tracks names saved on the cd weren't that optimal (correct yes, but the title included album and interpret, which I dont like: ALBUM: INTERPET - SONG".
So I searched the cd in iTunes (to know wether there are disc-info and disc-artwork to import), found it and tried to start getting track names. But the error appears.
Error-message (should be known): iTunes cannot get CD track names for files, which are not imported by iTunes. To get track names please import the CD with iTunes.
So I >imported< (not added) the CD directly about internal SuperDrive to my iTunes library. It got some file names from the CD, the album cover was taken from iTunes with "get album artwork". But getting tracknames ends up in this curious error.
Someone here, who finessed iTunes in this case? Deleting files completely and reimporting didn't make any difference. And changing all song names manuelly is actually no option because I have not enogh time yet.
Remeber the error appeared in this cases:
- iMac 27" (late 2012), Mountain Lion 10.8.4, latest iTunes --> importing albums with home-sharing (with should be the same like importing a disc (iTunes asks for format, import-settings, etc.)
- MacbookPro 15" (late 2010), Snoq Leopard 10.6.8, iTunes 11.0.4 --> importing CDs directly with internal superdrive. getting track names while CD is inserted worked, getting track names after ejecting cd to get iTunes-track-names got the error.
Maybe intereseting that this issue didn't appeared when I first set up my collection some month ago (in the meantime I cleaned up my MBP and know wanna make complete new collection). that time i think there was iTunes 9 or 10 actual ... but same discs etc. worked before. And on my iTunes on PC, where I made another music database for myself these month ago, everything worked perfectly fine including getting the track names ...
I'd be very glad if someone knows how to cope with this issue.

This is an error that just started appearing on my iMac 27. Pain in the A**!!

Why is 'Get track names' not available with my iTunes purchase?

I have just purchased a song from the iTunes store and it has been downloaded into my music folder. All is well so far. However, when i create a playlist and add the new song along with others from my music folder so that i can burn them to a CD the track name is not shown on the purchased track (all the others, yes but not the new one). If i look at 'get info' all of the information is shown but when i try to 'get the track name' i am told that iTunes can only get track names for tracks imported from iTunes...which is exactly where i got it from! What's going wrong. Why can't i get this track name? Any suggestions??? D/.

Hi,
Thanks very much for your reply. Although it was very good at explaining how the system works it doesn’t really help me to solve the problem.
I rip all my CD’s into iTunes and then make a copy of them to play in my car. It saves getting the originals lost or damaged and it also means that when I play them on my car audio system the track details are displayed; which is good.
With the disc I am trying to burn now most of the tracks were already ripped into iTunes and when interrogated they all display the track name, with the exception of the track I bought via iTunes store yesterday which although it shows the track info it does not show the track names. All I get is this message:
So, is there any other way I can import this track into my library so that when I add it to my playlist and burn to a CD it will show the track name? This is most of what is shown in track info:
I would say that when I look at the track in my music folder on my pc it is showing as an mp3 (MPEG layer 3 audio) file if this helps.
Thanks, coxmeister

How to get the name of the current tab.

Hi Experts,
I have two tabs in my tab strip and a button common to both the tabs.Can you please let me know how to get the name of the current tab in the event method of the push button.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arun

1.Declare an Action for OnSelect event of Tabstrip. This event is triggered whenever any change in tab occurs.
2. Declare an Import Parameter in this method
   Tab type String.
3. This parameter has value of the selected TAB.
4. You can set this value in some Attribute in Attribute Tab in this event only (OnSelect):
     wd_this->Att = Tab.
Att is the attribute created by you in Attributes Tab of View. ( of type String)
5. Now the selected Tab ID is stored in this Attribute Att.
6. In the Onaction of Button , retrieve the selected tab value from this attribute using :
           Data : lv type string.
            lv = wd_this->Att
Now lv has your selected TAB ID.
I hope it would help you.

ITunes 11.4.0.18 will not get track names for imported mp3 albums.

I'm new to Apple (Windows 7 i7 Sandy Bridge processor 16GB ram) and recently got an iPod touch 5g 64GB and I am trying to figure out iTunes. I have GB's of albums that I have collected over the years in mp3 format. When I imported them to iTunes via...File>Add Folder to Library...It imported all of my albums, but, almost NONE of the tracks are in order and they are "scattered" for lack of a better word. Some are with the albums they are supposed to be with, but MOST made their own names and albums. Getting the tracks with the albums I fixed by doing it manually. Getting the tracks in order in the albums...HELP. I tried to "Get Track Names", but iTunes comes back with "iTunes cannot get CD track names for songs that were not imported using iTunes. To allow iTunes to look for CD track names for this song, import the song again using iTunes."???? I'm assuming that iTunes will only get the track names if they are imported from CD only and not mp3? If I have to manually enter all of the information in myself....God help me...just leave it unorganized???

When iTunes imports a CD it records the information used to look up the album in the Gracenotes database. When you add your tracks into a different library that data is no longer available. See Grouping tracks into albums for some tips on organizing iTunes content.

When I try to "Get Track Names" or "Get Album Art," the wrong info or no info is retrieved

I'm using the latest iTunes and Lion OS.
I have many songs from long ago (not downloaded from iTunes) which have incorrect album names, etc., and I want to clean them up, but when I enter the correct info and select "Get Album Art" or "Get Track Names," either nothing is found or the incorrect information is returned, respectively.
For example, I have a song:
Artist: James Taylor
Album: Greatest Hits
Name: Mexico
It does not have the associated Album Art, nor does it have the rest of the information like Track, Year, etc. It just has the Track Name, Album Name and Artist Name. I want to update this to show that it is from the original Album, "Gorilla," so I right-click and select Info, and I fill in the Album Name as "Gorilla." When I right-click and select "Get Album Art," it tells me: "Artwork for "James Taylor - Gorilla" could not be found - though it exists in iTunes. When I right-click and select "Get Track Names," the item is updatd, and now it reads:
Artist: America
Album: Mellow Rock Hits Of The 70s: Summer Breeze
Name: A Horse With No Name
When I rename everything to "James Taylor," "Mexico," and "Gorilla," and select either "Get Album Art" or "Get Track Names," I get the exact same thing: no album artwork found, and it renames it to America.
What is happening? What am I doing wrong? Do I have the wrong expectations of the two right-click options?

I don't think CDDB and iTunes Store is the same. The CDDB gets information for CDs only (not collections of tracks made from a CD) and uses CD features such as track lengths (exact, which could be modified by a fraction of a second when you make a MP3) track count, etc. It doesn't use any information such as artist, track name. From what Mike Johnson12 was saying it seems that ITMS uses the base tag information to identify the track fully.
I have never used iTunes Store to label a track so I can't provide information there. I have no idea what criteria it uses, but for other id3 tag application and iTunes, by "exact" we mean exact. Letter case is important, and I have even found that sometimes font can make a difference.
For album artwork I do a Google search, then restrict the finds to images and select the best quality I can find. This is also the biggest in terms of file size so I only attach the image to one file in a track. When playing iTunes on the computer it displays that image for all tracks in that album.

Unable to get track names for new album itunes 11.1.5

Hi All,
I have 2 computers running Mavericks
Both have the same version iTunes 11.1.5
On some imported albums I have not got the track names.
On one computer I can right click on the track and 'Get Track Names'+'Get album artworks' and it works, but on the other I do this and it does not.
Any thoughts on why one computer can do this and the other does not?
Both are connected to the internet and can connect to the itunes store.
Cheers
Simon

It may simply be that the CD you are trying to import is not in the CD track name database.
