Recently got connected to internet and today, I plug in Verbatim hard drive and it's actually showing up!  Also, with our Itunes, the artist, song, and album NEVER showed up either when downloading a CD into our Itunes lately. Same thing, the artist, song & album is FINALLY showing up and we don't have to put it in ourselves by hand no more. WHY is that happening, is my question? I don't understand why a sudden internet connection would affect these devices or software. |

Contrary to popular belief, the song titles and such are NOT encoded into an Audio CD; instead, iTunes has to reach out over the net to the CDDB (aka Gracenote) and identify the disc via its unique identifier. This then supplies the artist, title, songs etc. |
