When you rip the cd, it may mark the files as unknown. I would do a search for "unknown" with the group by album radio button checked, then vo-space on your album (each unknown should have a date on it). Once the cd is open, cmd-a to select all, then cmd-i to open the info window. Select the second tab (I don't remember what it's called) and you will have a bunch of checkboxes and edit fields to fill in (I don't know what the checkboxes do, but I always check the one for any edit field I fill in). Since this is for all the tracks, not just one, only enter things like album name, artist, and other information that applies to all the tracks as a group. Cmd-w to close the window once you're done. Now you can go back and look up all those disks, naming each track if you want to and entering other optional information like track number, with that cmd-i command on any track or group of tracks. Note that if you select multiple items, you will get a warning when you press cmd-i; this warning does not come up for individual tracks. I know it's a pain, but eventually you'll have a great database of music searchable by track name, album, artist, and so on. Best of all, with the right settings this makes it incredibly easy to sync only the music you want onto your iOS device, if you have one, especially with smart playlists. I hope this all made sense.
