Apologies for not specifying Mac instructions more.
I did not spot this was a MacVisionaries question and confused this
query with a more general Computing list.

Hi,
iTunes on the Mac will do this just fine. similarly, select the tracks related
to the album, do a cmd-i to Get Info on the selected items, Modify the album
title as needed and leave the rest of the fields alone. VO-space on the OK
button or press return and you're done.
Later...

I am not sure if you are using Mac or Windows itunes but in either case itunes
reads the appropriate CD information from the tag information included in the
mp3 files or whatever media format you are using.
I would suggest that in either case you need to delete the relevant files from
the itunes database and re-import the files with amended information.
Personally I find Tag editing awkward on both Windows and Mac itunes and would
recommend using a proper Tag Editor in either case. This is especially the case
as iTunes mysteriously does not actually edit tags but merely amends its
database records.
Assuming you are using Windows then first of all
1. Locate the media in your itunes media folder on your PC. I forget where
this is in Windows by default as I have changed the location but will be
something like ITunes with a iTunes Media folder inside that and your CD folder
inside that.
2. For safety copy this folder and rename it.
3. Make sure you have the free Mp3Tag installed on your PC.
4. With the folder highlighted press the application key and then 3 to launch
Mp3Tag.
5. In Mp3Tag press control A to select all tracks.
6. Tab to the Album Tag Field and Rename the CD to what you want. You can also
amend any other tags here whilst tabbing through. leave the track titles and
number alone as you have selected more than one track so changes made here will
apply to all tracks.
7. Control S to save. Press enter to clear the confirmation message and close
Mp3Tag.
8. Now open iTunes and delete the old version of the CD and and go to the file
menu to select Open folder.
9. Finally import your amended CD files with proper information.
You can do the same thing on the Mac side but will have to use an alternative
Tag editor. I use IDE Tag Editor which is very different from mp3Tag and is
unfortunately not free. Mp3Tag has more features so there are advantages in
doing this under Windows as opposed to the Mac.

Hello!
I have a cd here which is included in a radio-drama.
Though the itunes database is naming it something else.
Do i have to rip the cd first and then rename it or can i rename it bu
selecting the title in question and then go to rename?
Thanks in advance.
