iTunes and other media players utilize a service called Gracenotes. The Gracenote Media database is a disc recognition service with a database of CD text information only, used for CD recognition purposes. So, when you put an audio CD in your CD-Rom, your Gracenote-enabled player will access their site to identify the CD and download textual information.
If it doesn’t recognize your CD it picks what it thinks is the closest match based on its interpretation of your disc. That’s where the “Weird Info” comes from.
Because this information is not on the CD itself, with such a database these applications could only display text such as “Untitled” or “Track 17”. They work off codes in the CD itself and provide information on title and tracks. They are user augmented through the submissions that come through submit enabled players.
In order to submit, you need the final pressing of the CD and a licensed application. A licensed application is a software application that is licensed to use their service.
You can check out http://www.gracenote.com/players.html to select your software. All these players that you see on the page will submit. Each is made by a different software developer, some are freeware, some shareware and others commercial, so look around and select one that meets your needs. They recommend iTunes or QCD player.
You should fill in at least these fields:
Artist Name
Album Name
Track Titles
Year of Release
Genre
Label Name
Within 24-48 hours the submit should be available to identify the CD to other people who put the CD into their CD-ROMs.
It may take two weeks or so for the submit to show on their website search engine, that view is just a look into one part of the database and the website search is compiled less frequently, so please be patient.
You may need to force your media player to re-query the information from the service, as they usually cache the information locally on your player and not all of them check for updates automatically.
