After the import, the name of the track goes like:track 1, track 2, track 3^^^^^^^^, are there any ways to get the real name of the song,e.g.Pump it; and get all the other info as well, e.g the name of album, name of artist.
thx in adavnce
There were once four people named Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Somebody had to do a job, but Nobody wanted to do it. Nobody could see that Anybody could do it, and Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Nobody ended up doing it, and it so happened that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

iTunes 'should' do this automaticaly by quering an online database (somehow the different length and number of tracks must create a unique 'fingerprint'?). Most stuff I have imported has been named correctly even CD's that come free with newspapers.

iTunes -> Preferences -> General -> Connect to Internet when needed

That should make iTunes automatically connect to the Gracenote Database and populate the Album/Song information when you insert a CD.

Otherwise you can insert a CD and, in iTunes, go to Advanced -> Get CD Track Names

"Advanced" menu > "Get CD Track Names"

Obviously, you must be connected to the internet.
