Converting Track Names When Burning .wav CDs to the Music Box (Track01, Track02 etc.)
When ripping CDs to the Music Box, if it's not an original CD, (i.e. mp3s converted to .wav and burned to a CD) you end up with no song names. The only labels on each song are Track01, Track02, etc. 
I have already tried the music-update with no luck. Although I may not have been using it right, I messed around with every option I could find and there didn't seem to be anything that I missed.
Has anyone figured out an easy way to get the correct song names associated with the track, short of manually updating them via your touch screen once they're already on the Music Box?

I think you're going to be stuck typing in the titles from the touch screen. The SoW uses the GraceNoteDB for CD track names, if it's not an official CD, it won't be in the database. WAV files don't have encoded meta-information (artist, title, etc) like MP3 or WMA files, so you can't "label" the WAV's.
There's one "hack" you could try that may just work:
There is a downloadable app at Infiniti (http://www.infiniti.com/music-update) that will allow you to export unknown CD info from SoW to CompactFlash, then on your PC you can run that program to get the latest info from internet GraceNoteDB. It's designed for use for newer CD's that came out after GraceNoteDB in your car.
The program works by exporting a file from the car called export.dat onto the CF card, the PC takes that file, pulls the info for the CD(s) from internet, then creates a file called import.dat that gets read in by the car.
If that import.dat file is readable (ASCII) format, you may be able to create / edit it in Notepad on your PC, then have the car read it in thinking it's the on-line GraceNoteDB info for that CD. You'll have to reverse-engineer the file format, you can do that by using a 2007 CD to get the info on-line and look at the import.dat it creates for that CD.
That just might work.

EDIT: consider using MP3 CD to keep track info ...
