That would be it... iTunes pulls the CD name, track names, etc. from an online database, not from the CD itself. If there's no internet connection, you won't get any of that information.
It's amazing how technology changes the way we look at things. A few years ago, the first thing I would have considered was a lack of connection to the internet. Now, with the increasing availability of high-speed internet services, I just assumed the computer was already connected and went right on to troubleshooting the network. Have a great night...
