Imported Album into Mac Music, track titles are missing.

[Spinosaurus]

First I am a newbie and am just trialing the software so that could be the problem with the first 5 free albums.  I recorded an Album and found it on Discogs and the software did a good job of transferring track names and data and pretty nice track splits.  Saved it after manual clean up and then loaded it to MAC OS Music.  When I burned a CD from Music, no track titles were on the CD, so I had to enter them manually. Can someone tell me what I probably did wrong?  Thanks, I intend to purchase the software for sure but want to make sure it will work for me.

Hi,

What are you playing the CDs on please?

I used the CD to download to another Mac computer and it recognized the title and artist but no track names.

I looked into some possibilities and the CD when you click on it shows the titles.  One possibility might be that I have checked in the Music settings, download track names from the internet and the track lengths might not be exact as it was recorded from a tape not vinyl. I'm not sure if I uncheck that if it will import the titles directly from the CD?  This may be a question for a Mac forum.

Hi,

Yes, that is exactly the reason.  The 'fingerprint' used for matching commercial CDs differs slightly from a CD you burn yourself because (typically) the tracks are not quite the same length.

Burning a data CD (other than WAV) would fix this.  Apple Lossless would be a good choice.
