Help, kindly mudfolk: I've just loaded in one of the many excellent versions of Under Milk Wood, the 1965 Stan Tracy Quartet one.

My computer doesn't have a CD player, so I've loaded in the four tracks (though according to the Get Info there should be eight) from an old computer.

I need to get them to play in the correct order, and to do that, I have to go to the end of one track, then the beginning of the next.

But iTunes no longer automatically shows the track as a long line that you can navigate through. (This used to be handy when I was learning the chorus of a song, say, before I couldn't sing any more because of years of steroid inhalers.)

Is there any way to get that track view to reappear, so I can click into the part I want?

Ah, wait, found it; the track view is still there on the pane at the top centre, it's just very teenshy now.

Looks as if the four tracks I found on the old computer are only half of the tracks all right. God knows where the original CDs are - probably up in the attic hiding under the spiders. And with them the other wonderful version of Under Milk Wood, with Tom Jones and Mary Hopkin and others. I really should buy an external CD/DVD player/writer, since these classics are unlikely ever to be reissued in digital versions.

Is there a CD drive in the old computer? It might be possible to move it to the new one.

No, BobL, the old one's a huge heavy MacBook, the new one's an Air.

Glad you found the track view. I too have been looking for that, but cannot see it anywhere.
