EAC Submit - CD Information Incompatible with FreeDB

MY SYSTEM
Windows 7
EAC v1.1

PROBLEM
Using EAC (Exact Audio Copy), when I attempt to submit the CD information to freedb (using "Database > Submit CD Information to Metadata Provider"), an error occurs. It says,

  • Error Message
    CD Information Incompatible with freedb
    Incorrect 25. track title name

The CD is an audio book, so it's not listed in any of the music libraries.
There are 25 tracks.
The track titles are "Track01", ..., "Track25"
In the Track column (to the left of the Title column), there are check boxes, a music icon, and a single digit number. The numbers proceed in sequence from 1,2,3,... but after 9, they are all 1's for another 9 tracks (there is a dot after each of the 1's), then 2's (also with dots), until the end. Not sure if that strange numbering is what's causing the error?

QUESTION
Has anyone seen this before?
Any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks for your input.

I tried searching the error message on Google, and I found another forum thread that discusses it, but there is no solution related to my issue. The track titles are just as shown, ie, no special characters.

1    Track01
2    ..
3    ..

1.  Track10

UPDATE: RESOLVED?
(re: CD Information Submit Error)
Part of the problem may have been that, while experimenting with EAC settings, I had left the "Metadata Provider" set to "freedb Metadata Plugin" ("Menu: EAC > Metadata Options"). I changed that back to "Built-in freedb Engine," and that seems to have resolved the issue. I was able to submit the information to the database.

To confirm the data, I restarted EAC, filled in more information, and tried re-submitting to the freedb database, but then I got the same error message as before, about track 25.

So I manually edited each track title by adding a space between "Track" and the number, 01, 02, etc. This seems to have worked. I was again able to submit to freedb.
