My guess is your WMA files have some DRM applied to them, such as happens if you use WMP to import them from an Audio CD.

Show Time is designed to update when the song ends. Too much going on computationally otherwise.

Test was accomplished by importing the same disk 3 times: 2nd import Marquee scrolling, 17 tracks 6 min 15 seconds. 3rd import Marquee not scrolling, 17 tracks 5 min 20 seconds. Times will probably vary depending on processor speed, number of processor cores, and ram in use.
What are you using to import the CDG Discs? "Singers Disc" button, or "Import CD Tracks" screen?

I don't think importing CDG tracks has anything to do with the Title auto-naming from our list. Try it again while not importing.

Title is a combo-box with a drop down list behind it to aid your naming. I'm surprised you can't highlight and delete the "Enough" and have it accepted. We have reworked this field several times (also Artist is the same), and I think this is an artifact of the combo-box "tool".
