Audio CD's don't have any track details. Sound Juicer retrieves track
details from online databases such as Musicbrainz, provided the
details are available for your CD. You will need to be online for
retrieval to work.
Musicbrainz is community managed database, anyone can register and add
details for the CD. There is some menu item in sound juicer which will
let you add details yourself.
