iTunes 6.0.1 Special Report: Wrong track names from CDDB

MacFixIt reader Michael Mortilla reports on an issue where iTunes is pulling incorrect track listings from the CDDB (CD Database).

Michael writes:

"While I love the fact that when I insert a CD into my G5 iTunes finds the name for me and even renames the CD to the appropriate commercial disk, I just hate it when I create a CD of my own original music and iTunes insists that it is something else. Last time it claimed it was a Reebok commercial. Time before, an obscure Christian song on iTunes with the exact same length. (Where it decided this was a Reebok demo is beyond me!)

"The CDs play fine, but it is a little embarrassing to explain the problem to clients who just paid to have music created for their production.

"Clearly, iTunes is utilizing my broadband connection to find the title. That?s great, but not if it is not the right title, or, in my case, I want my clients to see the correct title on the desktop."
