Why won't iTunes 10 get track names for my AIFF files?

[QUOTE="Fostermann, post: 1304698, member: 216861"] Thanks a lot for your reply, robduckyworth. I understand that iTunes can't know all the tracks are from the same CD but on the point of them not being named, they're also not named on the CD. They're simply listed as 'track 1', etc. Whether I import all the AIFF files from a CD or copies of the same AIFF files from a folder on my desktop, they're identical, right? Given the very short period of time required by iTunes to do a CDDB check on an imported CD I would have thought that iTunes would at least compare them against the Gracenote database before saying it can't get the information if it couldn't. If I made a compilation CD using unrelated AIFF files and imported the CD using iTunes it would try and find the track names, right? So, what I don't understand is why iTunes can't do a CDDB search for AIFF files placed in an iTunes playlist folder from the desktop? Why on earth is it necessary for them to be imported by iTunes from a CD? Am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
