sort of OT, CD names to iTunes

[Mark Smith]

No, I meant import the files into iTunes as aifs - iTunes is  
perfectly happy to play uncompressed aifs, (go to  iTunes preferences  
-> importing -> aif encoder), so you'd then have the aifs in iTunes,  
from where you can enter the info, and burn the cd. Then, if you  
want, you can convert to aac, and delete the aifs. The point being  
that you'd only enter the info once, in iTunes.
