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.

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.

How do I keep track of when a signal hits a certain voltage?

I am fairly new to Labview, and I am having trouble with the following. I am working on replacing a Digital Vector Filter with Labview software. I have a rotating shaft with eccentricities, which are measured by X and Y proximitors. Also, a keyphasor voltage keeps track of the rotation rate, which enables me to relate X and Y to each other. Essentially, I have to find when the keyphasor voltage hits -11 volts, and keep track of when that happens, then, keep track of the next time that happens, in order to get the time it takes for one revolution. I don't know if this makes a difference, but the data is coming in as dynamic data. I want to be able to tell the user what the rotational rate is as the program is running.

Thanks for the help!
I have taken the vi you gave me and changed it to a bit. The voltage going in is being sampled rather quickly, and thus there is no actual point that equals -11 Volts. I want to do something like the following: Check timer time, tm, and check:
if tm-1 > -11 Volts and tm < -11
do the following calculation to get the actual value time that voltage crosses -11 Volts, tk.
tk= (tm-1) + ( (tm- (tm-1) ) / ( Km - (Km-1) ) ) * (-11-(Km-1)), where Km is the voltage at tm.
I want to be able to do this streaming, to show the user what the tk value is live. The only times I really need to save are tm and tm-1, from there I can save all the tk's in an array for further analysis.
Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks

Loosing track info when transferring music

I've suddenly started loosing track info when transferring music.
I can take a cd, copy it to My Collection (M4A, Mobile Optimised) and all the info is displayed ok. When I transfer it to my phone (N70) the track data is lost and all music is dumped into the Unknown Artist folder, yet it still shows ok in the phone folder on Music Manager on the PC. Bizarrely, previous tracks that have the correct Artist/Album etc on the phone do not show correctly in the phone folder in Music Manager.
Any clues as to what's going on? I've used Nokia Manager many times before without this problem.
PC - XP SP2
Nokia Music Manager Version 2

Hi,
Please read the help topics of Music Manager which may help to resolve your issues (Hope So )
To rip a CD to your phone
Connect your phone to the PC.
Open Nokia Music Manager.
Click Options > Settings... and in the Conversion tab, select the desired conversion format and bit rate. The conversion format to be used depends on the phone model you are using. Not all phone models support the M4A conversion format. If you are uncertain about which format is supported by your phone model, it is recommended that you select the AAC format.
Still in Settings, go to the phone tab, and click Browse... to select whether you want to rip the CD to the phone's memory or to a memory card if inserted. The folder can be located in the phone memory, hard disk or a memory card depending on the phone model you are using.
Click OK to close the Settings dialog.
Insert a CD into the CD or DVD drive of your PC.
Go to the CD view and click Options > Get CD Information if available to retrieve information about the CD from the music recognition service (hosted and owned by Gracenote). Using the service requires an Internet connection. If your phone model does not support the music recognition service, you can edit the CD information manually. For more information, see Editing track information.
Highlight one or more tracks you want to rip to your phone.
Click Copy to phone.
Nokia Music Manager converts the tracks according to the settings you defined above in Step 3 and copies the tracks to your phone.
Tip:
In addition to ripping tracks from a CD to your phone, you can copy the same tracks to the My Collection view. To do this, click Options > Settings... and in the General tab, select the When copying tracks to phone, also copy them to My Collection option.
You can set the CD view to open automatically whenever you insert a CD into the CD or DVD drive of the PC. To do this, click Options > Settings... and in the General tab, select the Automatically open disc view when a CD or DVD is inserted to CD/DVD drive option.

Keeping tracks together when shuffling

I want to keep certain tracks together when listening in shuffle mode (for example The Four Seasons). I thought this was what the groupings was for, but it doesn't seem to have that effect. Is there any way of doing this?

You would need to physically link the songs together to prevent them being separated during shuffle. You could rip the tracks over again from the original CD using "Join CD Tracks" from the Advanced menu when you are importing: Adding Content to iTunes
You can also have a look at Doug's iTunes scripts for this script which will join tracks after they've been imported Note: This script allows you to join any two (or more) MP3 tracks (it doesn't join other formats), provided that they are the same format and bit rate: Track Splicer
Doug also has this shareware program you might find useful (this will join AAC tracks as long as they are not ITunes Store copy protected versions): Join Together

ITunes changes track order when burning discs

When burning a playlist to disc iTunes changes the track order. I want the disc to have the same track order as my playlist. How do I do that?

Jim VanLeeuwen wrote:
How your CD appears in iTunes depends on the column selections. In list view in iTunes, select the column to the left of the track names to see the CD track order. To see the actual order of the tracks on the CD, open the CD in Finder by double-clicking the CD on the desktop. The tracks will be preceded by a number corresponding to their order on the CD and that is the order they should play in your CD player. If you use the Finder's list view, your CD should reflect the order in the playlist you burned it from.
Play the CD in your CD player? Does the order match the original playlist?
Nope, when I put it in my car CD player the tracks are randomized. On the playlist I can put the tracks in the order that I wanted them in and when I burn them iTunes randomizes the order on the cd. I've burned it 4 more times and each time the tracks have been randomized. This is also with a cd that I bought from the ITS. So the playlist is in track order and I even checked the tags and the numbers are in the correct order.

Itunes 11.1.5.5 automatically updates all sorts of track info when I play tracks

I have a massive library, and historically itunes has been shaky about the way it orders things when you have inconsistent info across albums (album artist, track number info. year of release). I keep my library to where they only have track name, artist name, album name, and track number, but with this version when I play any track or even right-click a track and hit "get info", it automatically fills in "album artist", album artwork, year of the release, and any other info they can find. I've looked all over the software to try to figure out why, but there doesn't seem to be any option to turn it off.
So is there either a version that will NOT do this (I haven't tried installing the latest version yet but imagine it would have the same feature and I hate updating itunes), or otherwise is there a way to turn it off?
Thanks all.

Now it's actually changing the name of the artist and track names, so now if I'm playing music with the music sorted by the artist it will only play the one song, and then skip to whatever alphabetically comes next to whatever itunes decides the artists name should be. So unbelievably annoying, why in the world would this feature ever be incorporated into software, let alone without an easily available turn off option.

Keep iTunes info when identifying a new location for the media folder

I keep my iTunes media folder on an external hard drive which failed. I was able to transfer my media folder to another external drive. How to I let iTunes know where it is and keep my playlists and albums and other info intact in iTunes.

A "library" is everything in the iTunes folder. However, in some cases, such as yours, you have moved your media folder out of the iTunes folder which iTunes does not really like but can live with as long as nothing happens such as a drive failing. The whole organization is stored in a file called iTunes Library.itl. Right now your .itl tells iTunes that when you click on track xyz it needs to play the file xyz.mp3 in a certain folder on a drive named___
The two ways to get iTunes to work are, as I said, either fool it into thinking the drive is the same one, or to get it to try to fix all the broken links.
Now, I use an older (and IMHO a much better) OSX version. I don;'t know about your version (I guess they have not changed in this regard) I know I can simply click on an external drive and rename it just as I would a any other file or folder. Of course if you changed the folder organization too that will confuse iTunes, but I don't know exactly what you have done until you tell me.

No artist info when burning

I can get the name of the song and playlist to show when I burn a CD but not the artist. How do I get the to burn with the rest of the info?

If you burn as a data CD or an MP3 CD, all track information will be burned to the disc.

Keeping song info when importing realplayer-created mp3 files

I recently moved to Mac and iTunes, but when I imported my (~6000) mp3 files from realplayer, about 20% came over without album, artist, or genre information. Instead, the song name was just the file name. for the other 80% of tracks, everything worked fine. Help?

The easy thing to do, IF you transfered them from the office PC using copy, you still have access to it, and all the music on your PC and this office PC is the same, is to transfer again with the iTunes Library file.
You will transfer the whole "My Music" folder. inside this folder is the "iTunes" folder with its "iTunes Library.itl" file. this file contains all the song info, playlist ratings ectect. more on the iTunes library can be found here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
Another helpful artical for you maybe will be the one for transfering iTunes and music to a new PC using your iPod. Some steps you may not need to do, or have to alter abit, But it will give you a general idea on what you need to do to properly transfer things from one PC to another. An iPod is just a "Specailized" external harddrive after all. heres the link if you want to skim over it http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173

Stopping at track 4 when burning

I can't figure out if this is a hardware issue or not, but recently, whenever I try to burn a CD using iTunes, at track 4 it sounds like a jet engine is taking off the disc spins up so fast and the time to finish steadily increases. I have to ultimately shut down the mini and restart.
I've burned data CDs without issue, but music CDs are a problem. Any suggestions?

Since nobody answered, if someone needs this in the future, try buying new CD-Rs. After buying a new pack, it started working again.

How can I keep tracks playing when I'm browsing?

There must be an obvious answer to this question, but I don't know what it is.
If I'm playing an album, but then start to browse somewhere else (as one would do if listening to a CD), the music will stop after the track has finished, and not go on to the next track. (because the tracks are no longer in the browser window)
How can I keep playing what I want, in the order that I want, while I am browsing other music?
Thanks

I find this to be a problem as well, especially since I know I was able to work with iTunes this way before I installed iTunes 7.3?
I'm reading some other posts which suggest that being able to play tracks from an library subset (genre, album, artist) AND browse other playlists at the same time was never a feature of iTunes.
Since I know I'm not imagining that I used to use iTunes quite happily, I'm wondering is there an option in 7.3 that I'm not paying attention to?
It seems crazy not to be able to do this.

Idvd not keeping aspect ratio when burning dvd

Ok, what I am doing is creating the project in Final Cut, exporting using quicktime conversion (everything up to this point is 16:9) then I go to iDVD and what I need is a dvd that has no menus at the front or the end of the project, and it plays upon start. So I go to iDVD >file>onestep DVD from movie>select movie then insert dvd and it burns, But it burns it as 4:3, not the 16:9 I saved it as. I see nowhere to change this setting. Am I limited to only doing 4:3 projects with this type of dvd?

I'm very surprised that if you followed the references I gave you, you are still having problems.
Another solution is to use something called Anamorphizer that sets the file's widescreen flag so that it is recognized as anamorphically squeezed widescreen.
Get Anamorphizer at http://homepage.mac.com/sith33/FileSharing34.html
Make sure Quicktime 7 is open before you try Anamorphizer. (NOTE: You MUST use Quicktime 7 and NOT Quicktime X)
Place a copy of your movie clip in a new folder and drag that clip over the Anamorphizer icon. This should create a second file in that folder that start with Anamorphic- This is the reference movie you drag-and-drop into iDVD. Note that your clip in that folder (which is the movie the reference movie points to, must not be moved or deleted).
What I do is air projects on our local school board channel and just realized that idvd changes my 16:9 to 4:3 when doing the idvd> file>one step dvd from movie option.
BTW, how does the DVD play in your computer? There may be an issue with the school board channel playback.

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!

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.
