Question for iPod users & the new cd...

[Melissa]

Anyone else get the tracks from disc 1 coming up "unknown"? Mine did, & for craps & giggles I went ahead & loaded disc 2 just to see if it did the same, but the tracks are listed for that one. Anyone else have this happen?

Thanks-

Ya... that is exactly what happened to me.

It's because it's not in iTunes CD Database because it's a Wal-Mart exclusive...it may take a while, if at all, for it to show up. You'll have to add them yourself...I think that once someone adds them, it goes to iTunes database...I could be wrong.

Thanks! I just wondered if I had screwed something up, lol. Thanks again

It's nothing to do with iTunes database...

The track & artist names & data were not encoded properly during the mastering of the disc. They forgot to do the CDDB encoding.

My disc 1 shows no songs titles at all. And disc 2 has 3 mis-spellings on the track names.

It's just carelessness during the mastering process.

I've prepped several CDs for the mastering process and know what has to be done, and they just didn't do it, or didn't do it properly.

Along with the production of the music and vocals, it seems like they rushed the post production process as well.

I hope they encoded the ISRC stuff properly, otherwise no one will get paid their royalties.

Speaking of that, I thought it was a nice gesture to both Jeremey and Steve Augeri to include one of their tracks on the CD. This will likely be the best selling disc they've had in a while and it is a nice nod to those guys to throw them some song writing royalties. I would imagine that might be one of the reason for re-doing "Faith in the Heartland", since Generations did not sell very well.

I noticed some were not spelled right either on disc 2. Disc 1 shows up in my iPod under "Unknown Artist" & the tracks are just listed as Track 01, Track 02, etc.

When a CD doesn't come up for me and I choose "get track names", when it can't find them it says they are "not in some-name database"...

And I just borrowed a copy from my friend at work and it all came up instantly...on Window's Media Player.
