When importing music from a CD, iTunes must look up track names on the
internet through the CDDB database, because CDs do not contain that
information. If the track names in CDDB are wrong, the tracks iTunes
uses for the tracks will also be wrong. You can correct the names of the
tracks *before* importing them. Insert the CD, then edit the track names
in iTunes before importing.

See: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDDB>
