iTunes + AAC + Text info

Being from a country which is specifically prohibited from the the iTunes music store, I
cannot test this for myself. Does an album/track originating from iTunes contain more
text info than one would obtain from doing a CD rip and only getting the usual artist,
title, album name info? I saw a long time ago mention made of 'enhanced' albums
- other than more artwork was/is liner info contained as well?

I can't comment on what appears with a download, having never bought anything from iTunes.
I buy CDs and rip them and I have found that Gracenote sometimes provides details such as
the writers names, but I've not encountered any that give sleeve note information.

Thanks Richie, This is typically what happens, agreed, even via Wavelab or MS
Player. I'm keen to know if iTunes has upped the ante though - seeing that they are the
biggest online store (possibly). Personally the one thing I would love to see
develop within the MP3 std is the ability to add more info e.g. musician credit per track

I'm not that au fait with MP3s or AACs, but I do find that there are a few sections in
iTunes that allow comments. I have some mixes with multiple tracks and I find the lyrics
section a good place to host that info. I'm pretty sure that there is also space for more
info on the 'artist, title, album' info screen.

Thanks - you're missing my point. I know that it can be done
manually by me or any end user who rips their own CDs. What I'm trying to establish if
digital stores (iTunes) are doing this as part of an improved "experience"? Seeing that I
remember some hype being made about 'enhanced' album formats..?

No, you don't get any info "pre-loaded" in the fields (I agree, it's a shame). Some
albums come with a PDF of the sleeve insert, if you buy the whole thing at once.
