embedded track data on audio CDs
I'd like a simple answer to this question, if a simple answer is possible.
I'm not looking to start a megillah. It was only a few months ago that I noticed some CDs displayed text information on my SACD player. I didn't know that Red Book supported such a format. Could someone point me to more information about this? Thank you. -- "We already know the answers -- we just haven't asked the right questions." -- Edwin Land |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-Text Thank you. I didn't think it would be so-readily available in Wikipedia. |

I think it's actually another one of the colored books. Could someone point me to more information about this? Look for references to "CD-Text" data. It's stuff in the subcode of the lead-in portion of the disc. Sonic has supported it since the late nineties but earlier Sonic systems can't do it. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Thank you. I didn't think it would be so-readily available in Wikipedia. No bother. CD Text appears to be very rarely used, I only have the one commercial cd which lights up the indicator on my player. Many of the CD writer progs claim to support it but the results I get are very hit and miss with all sorts of strange characters appearing on the display and have never managed to produce a mix cd with correct labelling. -- Ken O'Meara http://www.btinternet.com/~unsteadyken/ |

No bother. CD Text appears to be very rarely used, I only have the one commercial CD which lights up the indicator on my player. I listen mostly to classical, and the text data show up fairly often -- at least on CDs from the past decade. |

For what it's worth, Nero and the Toshiba utilities support writing it, and Windows Media player can retrieve it if asked. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

If you're mastering a commercial CD you might as well use it since it adds so little additional work. The HHB800 standalone recorder can actually add CD-Text data although the procedure to do so is rather cumbersome. What annoys me is that so few players support index marks today.... I don't even bother using them anymore. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I have been assiduously typing them into 'Jam' for years, but I have never found out if they appear correctly on the discs. -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk |

I think the original version of Emagic's Waveburner app will do that. I used to run that in 8.6. -- shut up and play your guitar * http://hankalrich.com/ http://armadillomusicproductions.com/who'slistening.html http://www.sonicbids.com/HankandShai...withDougHarman |

After a recent "mishap" I have been assidously replacing favourite pieces with the CD versions bought from charity (thrift) shops most of which are original CD issues from the early days of digital and predate CD text.

Could someone point me to more information about this? Thank you. A cdda can have up to 99 tracks, each one should be longer than 4 seconds. So you can use tracks between 01 and 99 for audio. CD-text informations are written in the track 00. So, in the fact, the red-book support a maximum of 100 tracks! Not many standalone cd player support the feature but many people uses computers to play back cd right now, and is not uncommon to have a cd-text capable software player. Also many dvd player support the feature. Personally i always put that informations on the cds i create and the pressing company will always respect it. I think is better to write the correct info than rely on freedb or cddb websites. A CD-text disc need a compatible player to display infos, but otherwise, all other cd features will work perfectly, so there's no risk in using it. In opposite, right because modern DVD player supports just a basic set of the red-book features, using PQ codes to have not silent gaps between tracks is not always a good idea in terms of compatibility. Ok CD-text is not fundamental but is something nice freely available. why not? alex |
