Jim,
Thank you for replying.
I had my preferences set not to get the names automatically, because on general principles I don't want *anything* done automatically if I can avoid it. I did what I've always done before: I imported the CD's first, they showed up in the music library as "Track 1," "Track 2," etc. (several tracks 1 and tracks 2, actually). I then highlighted them and went to "advanced" to get the track names for all of them at once. It even says in the "Help" instructions for iTunes that you can do that. Always before it's connected to Gracenote and pulled the names, but now it's saying I have to import the tracks using iTunes - which is exaclty what I had done to begin with.
After reading your message, I went back and tried again. I put the CD in and clicked on "Import." The tracks showed up in the music library by number, but this time I didn't go to the music library, I stayed on the part that had just the tracks from the CD listed (showing as Track 1, 2, etc.). I clicked on Advanced, and it let me get the track names. But then it insisted that I import the CD again, at which point the songs went by their names into the music library (where they already were as Track 1, 2, etc.). I tried going to the music library first and clicking on the Track 1, 2, etc. files that were still there, and getting track names for them - and again got the error message about how I had to import using iTunes.
I'm not always connected to the Internet when I import CD's, which used to work just fine but now doesn't. What I'm trying to figure out is *why* it doesn't, so I can make it behave again the way it did before.
