[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?
