You still haven't told me if you are using Windows or Macintosh, or  
what operating system. I have a G5 iMac with OS 10.4.11 and the  
latest version of iTunes for my set up is version 7.5

Unless you have a specific reason not to, I would update to the  
latest version of iTunes and your OS (unless you are considering  
Vista, don't go there if you can avoid it).

Do these files come with names for each track? Information on artist  
or album? Or do you have to add that yourself?

I'm not sure I understand why simply burning a CD "fixed" the  
problem. I thought you were already burning CDs and unhappy with the  
result. So what have you done differently? Or perhaps I just didn't  
understand what you were doing previously (as I said, it wasn't very  
clear).

I'm glad you are "out of the woods", whatever the reason.
