<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>One th<font face="Arial" color="#000000">ing is that to get the
song/track info. you will need to be connected to the internet
so that itunes can look-up the CD that you're copying from in a CD
database. This will only work if the CD has the same track lengths and
gaps as the original(s).</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Once a CD has been
'recognised' in this way it should be recognised again the next time
that you put the CD in the computer, whether it is connected to the
internet or not. Furthermore, this info is stored and shared between
apps, so that Toast will recognise a CD that was looked-up by
itunes.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">However, this not quite the
same as CD-text. CD-text will only work on CD players with CD text
capability (e.g Marantz CD6000, Arcam CD72 to name a couple that have
passed through my household). It is still useful though, because under
certain circumstances the (my) computer can also read the CD-text
data, for example if you copy 'Track 1' from a CD text CD with Toast
(by dragging), then in the process of copying Toast will read the
CD-text data and name the track accordingly. Then, if you export the
AIFF (e.g. to the desktop) and drag it into iTunes, it will keep
its 'name' (but no other info.)</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">If you're making a compilation
CD, then you will lose the CD info soft-data looked up by iTunes
(because the CD is no longer recognisable in CD database, and may not
be stored on the computer that you've inserted the disk into), but if
you burn it as CD you will keep the CD text hard-data (the name of the
CD is the compilation's iTunes folder name)... but iTunes does need
seem capable of reading this data!</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">All is not lost as there is a
little script called "CD text to CD info", and you can run
this and it will attempt to extract the CD-text data and insert as
iTunes CD-info. What's neat is that your compilation CD will then be
'remembered' and when you reinsert it it will show up the track names
(although you will lose the original CD Album names unless you to
steps to preserve them by pasting them into the Names or Artist
fields).</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Hope this helps!</font></div>
