How to import CDs without adding track numbers in iTunes 8

The option for naming tracks on import without adding the track number to the front of the filename is missing in iTunes 8.

The good news is that the preference is only hidden and is easy to fix.

Simply quit iTunes, open Terminal, and enter this command:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes create-filenames-with-tracknumber -bool FALSE

On relaunching iTunes, you will find that track numbers are no longer added to filenames on import.
