If I have a CD how do I create a region list that has the names of each track? Thanks

Read the entire disc (rather than by track) and use the "create regions for each track" option. You'll have to label the region names themselves.

Thanks, what a misery! Why doesn't Sound Forge label the region names automatically? Bad show, Sony.

Most CDs don't contain name information. Only those with CD-TEXT included will, and i believe that's only SONY CDs. Not all playback equipment or software is equipped to retrieve the CD-TEXT information either. It's just not very widespread. CDs without CD-TEXT include no information except the start/end times of the tracks, so there isn't anything other information to extract from them.

I can obtain the track information from Gracenote but how to then get that information into the regions list?

Fingers to the keyboard, most likely.

You might want to send a suggestion to Sony Creative Software and ask if they would consider adding this feature to a future version of Sound Forge. http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/support/productsuggestion.asp

Thanks, but I feel it is by design. The CD Info button is on the Extract Audio from CD dialogue - it creates tracks but not regions I find it hard to think this is an oversight.

I'm happy to report I was mistaken! My apologies to Sony. Edit > Track List > Create regions from CD tracks is what I needed. It failed at first because I had an extra bad track. Once I deleted that I was able to rename the regions.
