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. Derek --On Monday, August 24, 2009 3:38 PM -0400 LLTI-Editor <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hello Dear Friends.
