It's surprising how often publishers fail to provide this useful 
information to the online CD track name data bases, where we can all 
access it easily.  I just received a two disk Chinese audio set, and 
one disc had the track name entries in the online database, while the 
other didn't.

In my experience, few professors or students understand that the track 
name data for an Audio CD is not stored on the disc itself.  It is 
acquired so seamlessly from the online CD database(s), that most people 
assume that the data is on the disc itself (or not).  When we get a 
disc that doesn't display the track names, we always type in the names, 
and upload the information to an online CD track name database.  That 
way, all of our students will be able to access the names 
automatically, even when they are using the CDs at home.  And all of 
our colleagues anywhere in the country (world?) will be spared the 
confusion of seeing only numbers, rather than useful track names, or 
the duplicated effort of entering the track names again locally.

I encourage everyone to do the same.  I use iTunes software to enter 
and upload the track names to the online database (I think iTunes links 
to GraceNote), but there are other options.  Look for "Submit CD Track 
Names" under the iTunes "Advanced" menu.
