Why does my album say untitled

Audio CDs do not contain information about track titles, artist, etc. When you import a CD into iTunes an online service Gracenote is used to look up these details based on parameters that can be derived from the disc no. Gracenote will find a match for the CD and return details of artist, album name, song titles, etc. Even if the CD you are creating is a "duplicate" of a commercial album release, matching in Gracenote is going to occur only if you've initially ripped and then stored media in uncompressed "WAV" format - and even that is not a guarantee of success.

Given, however, that you must have the media in your library to create the CD, why would you want or need to re-import it? Jan 13, AM.

I added the new "my music" directory to my ITunes and I assumed the Gracienote information was obtained from the internet - it took over 8 hours to import the directory.

As Black Is shifts through different moods, it never loses focus. At 20 songs, Black Is is ill-suited for short attention spans but therein lies its strength: It passionately considers the entirety of the Black experience in this moment.

Released 13 weeks after Untitled Black Is , Untitled Rise follows a similar structural course with greater production value and attention to detail. Rise devotes most of its time to dance-driven grooves that flow freely between disco, carnival-esque drum breaks, and polyrhythmic Afrobeat, embracing the motivating power of finding joy in the face of pain. On Rise , hope is often imagined via religious imagery. Their whole-hearted commitment to making sound inextricable from meaning reflects the demands of a moment when abolition is gaining more traction with young activists than reform.

The fight for Black lives deserves art that mirrors the depth of the crisis and the spirit of the movement. Catch up every Saturday with 10 of our best-reviewed albums of the week.

The collection of unreleased tracks is now officially available to stream. If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement. The rapper has called the record a "project" rather than an album, containing a set of recordings originally made in and , in preparation for his last album, To Pimp A Butterfly. Spotify leaked information on Untitled Unmastered earlier today , including its name and ambiguous eight-song track list, which features the word "untitled" alongside a series of dates and nothing else.

Whether the blunder was Spotify's mistake or an accidental leak on behalf of Lamar's management is unclear, but this isn't the first issue Lamar has had with a release. To Pimp a Butterfly famously dropped eight days ahead of its official release date. This time around, Tiffith hinted in an Instagram post that a surprise release from TDE would hit the web sometime this week, but no one expected it to be another project from Lamar.

In any case, Untitled Unmastered appears to be a set of unreleased tracks from the and sessions that birthed To Pimp a Butterfly , and looks designed to be more of a minor release to satiate fans rather than a full-length follow-up to last year's masterpiece. To Pimp a Butterfly earned Lamar five Grammy awards last month, and his legendary performance of "The Blacker The Berry" and "Alright" that night only further cemented the album as one of the most important works in modern hip-hop.
