[iTunes] Importing Screwed Up Without Warning

[Scott Stamper]

Hey All,

I got back from the used cd store with my latest finds and proceeded  
to try to import them.

As background, I have imported ~2000 cd's into my Mac without incident  
or real problem.

This time, however, instead of automatically retrieving the track  
names, album name and artist, etc, I had to use the Get Info commands  
and enter the information manually. I tried importing an old cd that I  
had previously imported without a problem, and my Mac Mini didn't  
recognize it, either.

I've always had my Preferences set in iTunes to "import cd, then  
eject", which has always worked in the past.

Is my iTunes Preferences file trashed? And if this is the problem,  
what's the least painful way to remedy it. Run AppleJack? Throwing the  
file away (I'm not sure where it lives) and restarting?

Please advise.

Thanks!
Scott
