This works for purchased tracks only. FixTunes works only if you already know about the album. It useless if you have no album\artist information in the tags, file or folder names. mp3tag is good freeware tool. but I have a better time saver to recommend: www.tagtuner.com I believe iTunes use Apple Store to lookup the album information.

It has lots of really neat utilities to automate the process. I rarely find that the cddb info is to my liking anyway. I recommend mp3tag for editing this information.

This will try the CDB database again to try and get the details again.

Use SHIFT (on Windows anyway) to mark all the songs and do the above steps (right click.... get info) and you will be able to edit the information for multiple items. This is good if the CD is from one artists, same year (or other info) and/or if you want to give all the music pieces the same album art. When you have done the above, you are able to change the name of the songs quickly by selecting the song, wait a second and then click on the song name and you are ready to type in the name. You can also press F2 (instead of waiting a second and clicking on the name). (I'm sure Cali knew all this ;-) Do it a little easier.
