I got a CD of a relatively obscure band in LA at their show. When I put the CD in mac pro mid 2012 OS 10.12.6 the CD imported into iTunes with no track names. I fiddled around in iTunes and got to the CD info window where I was able to manually add Artist name, Track Names and Album name. I deleted my first import with generic track 01 etc... and no info. I imported the manually named CD and all is well at home.
Today at work I loaded the CD into my old 2009 macbookpro OS 10.7.X To my surprise in iTunes the CD showed all the proper info. I thought maybe because it knew my library from home it got the info that way. I then took the CD to another station that I don't work on. We loaded the disc to the desktop and it said track 1 etc... for file names. When iTunes was launched the finder folder then changed to show the correct names of the tracks and iTunes new all the info.
Now I'm wondering why on my home computer the CD info didn't appear the first time. A little googling and according to Apple support the CD info comes from the internet. There is mention of a gracenote database. So this leaves me wondering why I got no info the first time on the home mac. Perhaps my internet was down at the time I first loaded the CD or did my manually entering the data somehow back feed into the internet database? At first I thought it might be related to me being logged into my apple account but when I went to the second computer at work launching iTunes, which wasn't logged into my account, populate iTunes and even the finder with the correct info.
Am I crazy? Who is controlling this under the hood flow of music metadata? Curious how this all works.
