iTunes gets album information through CDDB (hosted by Gracenote.com) which finds the artist / track names etc. by associating the number of tracks against the length of each track in their CD database.
This is why if you have made a mix CD and import it into iTunes, you don’t get the track details; obviously, a custom-made mix won’t be in the CD database of commercially sold albums.
I’ll sleep better knowing I answered this.
Liz: How does iTunes know what CD this is?
Me: I have no idea.
Liz: What?! You’re supposed to know everything!

Because I need to somehow answer every question that’s asked of me – I’m relaying it to the internet. How does iTunes get the tracklist from a CD being imported?
Comment or Email Me with answers / advice / therapy because you know I do this kind of thing all the time.
When you change the settings on a toaster, what happens exactly?
Is the bread kept in there longer, or does the heat become more intense?
