    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.

    Peace, Love.

    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.

    Not really being a smart ass as such

    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. ;)
