Hi Susan
Glad you got it sorted but was going to suggest that you could get album
information on one of the shopping sites like Amazom where they give track
listings for most albums.
I have just been on Wickapidia myself looking for a list for a copied CD
and had no bother finding the list of tracks but if it’s a compilation it
might be a bit harder to find the track info.
Best to you for 2014.
Tony
