I tried burning my first MP3 CD using iTunes and noticed that when I play it not all the data fields display artist, song info.

I have a CD I burned over 4 years ago using whatever software Dell installed and it displays everything

How do I get iTunes to do this?

Thanks

when you burn, you need to make sure "Add CD Text" is turned on.

I found that feature but it's in the CD area, if I click on MP3 it grey's out. Guess I just learned something, if you burn an MP3 you'll limited to how much Meta Data is available but can pack a ton of songs on a disc, if you want all the Meta Data (Title, Artist, Album) you need to burn as a CD with the Text feature turned on. BTW I started with 25 songs and kept deleting until the CD would burn, I wound up with 20 songs.

Hopefully this will help someone like me.
