Is there any way to keep artist title info of the tracks as I rip them to my computer? Everytime I rip a CD I just get, Track 01, Track 02, etc. I want to condense my CD's onto my computer, but this is tedious as hell to have to do each time, especially if using iTunes to organise my music, I have to do it AGAIN when I import the files to assign the meta tags. Otherwise, it just arranges it by the name of the file as "Oasis - Wonderwall", not sortable by artist, or album, etc. Suck ass.

Even on the CD's that display text in your car CD player(most all of them), still don't rip with artist and title, just as tracks.

Is it the program(s) I'm using? I'm using iTunes, Foobar or CDBurner XP Pro and neither of them rip titles. Is there a program that does?

Suck ass....

Use EAC and hit alt-g to retrieve track names. your flac or lame encoder needs...

ah fuck i don't feel like splainin it

Use EAC and hit alt-g to retrieve track names.

That. And if it's not in the database (or you don't have network connectivity when you rip), then manually type it in. Lame should automatically tag it internally if it has the information to start with, unless you fucked up the settings (which I doubt).

Probably the best guide you'll find for ripping a CD:

I recommend lossless, but if you need the room then V0 Mp3.
