    The CD doesn't have any of that information stored on it. Whatever program you are using to listen to it has looked it up incorrectly. This is a common problem that many people were having, so I'm guessing it is/was incorrectly listed in one of the main databases that music programs use to look this shit up.

    I got the same think too. If you're using Window's Media Player, just copy all the files & right click & update tag's.

    because it takes two seconds to do a quick search to see if the topic has been covered already. this one, in particular, has been covered in about 13 different threads.

    if you've got time to post, you've got time to search, IMO.

    I know iTunes get's the song and album info from CDDB (CD Database) or http://www.gracenote.com/. I'm not sure where Windows Media Player gets it's info but I believe this is an issue with that. There's a unique code that the program reads and then checks with CDDB to tell it what the tracks and album are called. For some reason, the CDDB thinks, or someone uploaded the information for Avacado and not Backspacer. This issue is easily remedied by simply manually entering the information. Once this is done the first time, it should come up that way each additional time. I hope this helps and maybe an email to Gracenote's website might get this problem fixed. ;)

    dude, i think PJK was just mentioning that this is a topis that has been discussed a hundred times already...

    You could have got your answer through a very quick search using the tool on the site.

    no. it's not. but he made it a big deal by calling someone who gave him advice a smart ass. how about "backspacer tracklist problems"? it's pretty easy. it takes a few seconds. that is all. ;)

    okay, I just took a few seconds to do a search, and searched "backspacer tracklist problems"

    the only thing that comes up is this thread. :D

    i'm just saying, i do use the search here all the time, and it is rare that i find what i am looking for.

    thats all ;)

    Read my original post, I was not calling the person a smart ass that was giving me the advice, in fact I told him in the very next post that I was calling the OTHER poster a smart ass. Unless you call this advice, I don't

    <<<<<<Welcome back from your nap...S E A R C H IS YOUR FRIEND>>>>>>

    I sure don't, sorry I'm not on this freaking site 24/7, I also commented on my OP that I have been very busy and was wondering if other people have had the same problem. Some people on here are actually helpful, like the guy you THINK I insulted, how about reading what I actually wrote. If this topic has been talked about already on the board then why can't people just skip over my OP, instead all the idiots on here that act like they are 10 years old have to chime in with, "welcome to last week", "search is your friend" "if you have time to post you have time to search" save your smart ass remarks, I thought for once I could just ask a question on here and have someone answer it.

    No wonder I met so many people at the Seattle shows that said they don't spend time on this board because the people are so childish, sorry I'm 40 years old and don't spend every waking minute of my life on this board, I have other things to do. But next time I will be sure and perform a VERY long and accurate search before I dare offend people with something that has been discussed already, because god knows there are never 20 post that talk about the same shit, or real important stuff like photos that Eddie looks hot in! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
