Do you know of a way to do it without the CD inserted, as David Stowe suggests?

Incidentally, I renamed the whole lot of mine to include the album and track 
number at the start of the name.  I don't want them listed in the player in 
alphabetical order, it just makes it even harder to find them, I want them in 
the same order as on the CDs.  I have mine on my Blackberry (Bold), and it lets 
me find them just by typing in part of the name, very fast (assuming they're 
splled correctly).   (I'm not suggesting the Gracenotes database be updated 
like that, I'm someone would hate it.)

Peter,

The Gracenotes facility allows any one to enter or amend track names
and other CD data. I have done this myself on several rather obscure
CDs (eg an album of miners blues from Asturias, Spain).

Cheers,

Carl Clifford

Not mine, I must have corrected it. Does anyone know how to make ad
hoc corrections like this in the online database of track names?

For those wondering what this is all about, when you use something
like iTunes to extract the CD tracks to a computer, it looks up the
track names in an online database (called Gracenotes?). The names it
returns are those that were kindly typed in by the first person who
did the process and wasn't happy to find the names were returned as
just track numbers.  Thank you, whoever you are.

Now, if we could just get the corrections done.
