I'm using iTunes 8.0.1 for Mac and here's my problem.

When I record an mp3 disk, the column information I select within the "playlist" section changes on the actual cdr disk that gets burned.

For example, the iTunes playlist options I select on the computer hard drive before burning include: name, time, artist. Note that the Library Music section of iTunes only contains the same three column headings as well.

When the disk has finished burning, the column information that appears on the disk is as follows: name, time, artist, album, genre, rating, play count.

Why does the extra and unwanted column information appear on the disk?
Although the unwanted data can be temporarily removed from the disk by right clicking on the column heading area with the mouse, this "deleted" information reappears when the disk is ejected and then reinserted.

And how can I match the initial column information within iTunes before and after burning a disk?

Thanks for any tips.

None of that info is saved on the disk. It's merely how you set iTunes to view it.

However, interesting point:

HOW THE HELL DO WE CHANGE DEFAULT SORTINGS/views FOR DIFFERENT LISTINGS - e.g. mp3 disk, artist in cover view, etc.?

It's *really* annoying that I have to set Every. Single. ****ing. Artist. to sort by album year when I double-click on that artist.
