Symptom
The Join CD Tracks command in the Advanced menu is dimmed.
Solution
You can only join tracks before they are encoded or "ripped". You cannot join songs after they have been encoded.
To join two or more tracks, they must be sequential. For example, you can join tracks 2 and 3 from an audio CD, but you cannot join tracks 3 then 2. Follow these steps:
1. Insert the CD with the songs you want to join.
2. Select the CD from the iTunes Source list.
Note: Make sure the list is sorted by track number.
3. Select the adjacent tracks you want to join.
4. Choose Join CD Tracks from the Advanced menu.
5. Click Import.
