CDDB Info Not Found

Hi everyone. I have a few questions. When I put burned CDs (from iTunes) in the Z1, it sometimes shows the correct information from the CDDB, and sometimes it doesn't recognize it.

1) Is there some way that I'm supposed to label the CD (as in the playlist name) so that the Z1 can recognize it?

2) Is there anyway to search the CDDB and if I find the correct info, to apply it to that CD?

3) When it finds the info, it's written correctly, but when I have to enter the information myself, it comes out in all capital letters. How can I enter lowercase letters?

The Gracenote database recognises the cd by looking at the number of tracks, track length, album length, etc. and compares that info against known info in its database, and then labels the cd based on that info. If you record your own cd,sometimes the times are off, especially on a mix cd, so, it cannot find a match, so, no info.

Is there a way to input the titles without using all capitals?

Is there a way to "search" the CDDB database and then apply the results to an album?

I am not recording any mix CDs, only full CDs purchased from iTunes.

The answer for both of your questions is NO. The Z1 does not have that capability.
