I have bought the CD, Now thats what I call the 90's. I have put the CD in the laptop.?

First you need to be connected to the internet.

If you are using Windows Media Player then it will automatically get all the information for the songs, title, track, artist etc.

If you are connected to the internet and the Media Player doesn't do that automatically you may have switched this function off.

Go to Options -> Then Library -> Then check the box with Automatic media information update for files, Retrieve additional information from the Internet

You can rip the cd on to the hard drive using Windows Media Player as well.

There are other programs that does the same thing, but if you are running Windows just use

Media Player. Less hassle.

No more typing all the song titles, artists, album, etc!

make sure your firewall settings are OK, it needs the following ports free:-

52,53,4555,5291,6356,6385 and if using sharing of libraries:- 3689 & 5353

make sure you have an itunes store account and are logged int to it and the computer is authorised on the store using the store menu in itunes (ITS FREE dont worrry).

then select ' gget track names from CDDB' (you can set this up to automatically do this in the preferencews) and it will fill in the track names for you AND get artwork (2 operations unless you set this to auto as well in the prefs)

Are you using windows media player? that usually doesn't read the names or band etc. If you rip it to your pc with WMP I'm not sure if information is read, but if yo use iTunes to rip it to the library, all information will be transferred (I always use iTunes :D).
