Are you importing commercial CDs or CD-Rs? If they are ones you made yourself the track names will be seen as Track 01, Track 02 etc. and the information has to be keyed in again by hand. For commercial CDs, you have to connect to the internet as iTunes picks up the track information from an online database. It will do this automatically if you are connected while you are importing or you can do it afterwards by connecting to the internet, highlighting the tracks and going to Advanced>Get CD Track names.

Hello,
I just read your question regarding text-entering problems and I was wondering if you ever solved that problem. I just got iTunes and I was ripping my cd's onto the iTunes. I was manually entering the track info, but when I was finished with each cd, it would erase all the newly entered track info and revert back to Track 1, Track 2, etc. Any suggestions?
