I just burned a CD from a Vinyl album and typed the titles into Toast 7 but after mounting the CD onto the desktop I find the ttles don't appear. Only if I open Toast again and drag the now burnt CD back into the Toast window the titles are all there. In past versions of Toast when going through the same procedure the tiltes would be available when the CD is mounted on the desktop. Is there a setting I'm not aware of or doesn't this version work the same?

Macs don't read CD Text from audio CDs. Instead they read a CD Info database file written to the Mac's hard drive. If there isn't a match there the OS goes to the online CDDB to look for a match to download. If none is found you have to enter the info manually in iTunes.
At www.dougscripts.com there is an Applescript called CD Text to CD Info that automates the entering of the info in iTunes.

Thanks for the response. I found strangely enough that when I imported the CD tracks into iTunes the text was there so I didn't need to re-enter the titles. Thanks for the link as well.
