thank you for your reply. At the bottom of the cue screen, there are options. CD-Text: none, file name tag and custom. Then there is title and performer. Depending upon which selection is made under the cd-text - the title and performer is blank, grayed out or black. Then there is default cd-text where there are another list with selections cd-text (disc track). Under that are more selections - none tag and custom.
none is obvious. Does (tag) metadata mean the title of the song, the song and the artist? Is that the meaning of tag? and will selecting tag always mean that the artist and the title of the song will appear on the recorded cd? and what does custom accomplish? does it do something in addition to tag. In copying is the first line of choices stand alone or is it important to also use the default disc/track buttons as well? is default stand alone? In other words do they need to be used in combination? quick ok ok and cancel are obvious but what comes before is not. Thank you again for walking me through this.
