I have an old collection of CDs with AIFF music files I am trying to import into my music library (btw, I am using a Mac). These files are named as "1 Audio Track.aiff", "2 Audio Track.aiff", etc, so I don't have any information in the file names I can use to name them accordingly in the import process, however I know this information must be somewhere as my car's CD player displays the song name and author of each and every song. I wonder where this information is and how I can extract it, otherwise I'd be left with nothing by a bunch of untagged files, many thanks in advance.
Things I have tried so far:
I have used the command exiftool but I don't see the info my car's CD player is able to read (see below)
us@mac:/Volumes/Audio CD$ exiftool 1\ Audio\ Track.aiff

I checked the hidden TOC.plist files in the CDs and they don't seem to contain this info.
Hope you can give me some tips.
Thanks David, but there is an issue with this approach of using Jaikoz / MusicBrainz. When I imported the audio CD using this tool or iTunes, the songs are just named as "1 Audio Track", so MusicBrainz doesn't have much info to look for the respective song name and author in its database, besides they are very old tango songs which I doubt will be found in MusicBrainz's DB. This is why I was trying to extract the info my car's CD player is using as it is supposed to be somewhere in the CD. I tried to look into TOC.plist, but I cannot see this info at all. – pbasil – 2015-12-28T00:28:40.297
