iTunes is not uploading the album name or song name when I import a cd

I got my MacBook Pro 3 days ago and I wanted to import all of my cds. Well once I started doing that none of the cds were being imported with their song titles or album names! I don't know what to do or how to fix it and I really don't feel like importing all of my cds and going through the list and listening to each song to renaming all of the Track 1s, Track 2s and on.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me! User uploaded file
Thanks

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

From the iTunes help file:

When you insert a CD into your computer, iTunes finds the CD’s information on the Internet and displays the song information. If songs appear as “Track 01,” “Track 02,” and so on, either you aren’t connected to the Internet or iTunes can’t find the CD’s information.

If you’re not connected to the Internet, you can import the songs anyway, and look up the CD information another time when you are connected.

iTunes looks for the names of songs and albums in the Gracenote media database on the Internet.

To look up CD information in the Gracenote media database:

Make sure you are connected to the Internet.

In iTunes, select a song or songs (hold down the Shift key to select multiple adjacent songs, or the Command key to select multiple nonadjacent songs). Be sure to select all the tracks on an album.

Choose Advanced > Get CD Track Names.

If more than one entry is found for the CD (which can occur if more than one person submitted information for the same CD to the Gracenote service), select one of the entries. If it isn’t correct, choose Advanced > Get CD Track Names again and choose the other entry. If it’s still not correct, you can edit the information yourself.

If iTunes can’t connect to the Gracenote service or if it has no information about the CD, you can enter your own song information into iTunes. You can also submit the information to Gracenote so that other people can use the information.

Same problem- I am on a new computer & have not imported the old iTunes library from the old one. When I put a CD in the drive the tracks download, but none of the CD or track information or album artwork appears. I am connected to the internet, but when I attempt to "Get track names" or "Get album artwork" I am told that "CDDB information is not available for some of these tracks" i.e. any of them.
