I have some private CD recordings of my band. I enter song info into iTunes after importing, then make a few copies. In the past, the burned CDs had the song info but they don't any longer. I can't find any reference to this change in Help or user forums. Is there a way now to get the info on to the burned CD? Thanks!

If buring an audio CD you can use the option Include CD Text however support for reading that data back is almost nonexistent in computers. The titles may show in some in-car and domestic hi-fi units. Burn as a data disc and all the tag information, embedded album artwork etc. is included along with the audio at the other end.

Audio CDs do not have track information on the track. When you put a CD into a computer it looks at the audio structure and goes to a database such as Gracenote where it identifies the CD based on this fingerprint and pulls up the data. The computer itself can store the data for future insertions of the CD, and if you add the files to iTunes it can also store information.
You can burn as a data CD as suggested by turingtest2 but this will not be readable by a standard CD player. However, if you had CDs work in the past this was likely what you did and you may have burned it as a mp3 CD.

(Sorry, all I have are Mac references but it's probably not much different in iTunes for Windows)
