No titles for the rag time songs?

Just wondering were there no titles for the rag time music played throughout the movie? Under soundtrack it lists on 3 songs.

If you want to find out about the music in this film (and all the other Woody films) then get a copy of the excellent "The Soundtracks of Woody Allen" by Adam Harvey, published by McFarland. It lists all of the music in the film and tells you where it appears. Most of the music in this particular film was composed by Dick Hyman and the titles are given in Harvey's book. And there is a section on where to find recordings of the music, if it is available. I believe there is an LP of the soundtrack to "Purple Rose".

Thanks so much. I think I had heard that Woody did a few of the songs in the movie, so it would make sense why the tracks aren't out there. He's really pretty good. I saw him on the Dick Cavett show on TCM earlier this week and I had no idea that he could play that well.
