Audio CD

[Zelnak]

I have just started using ImgBurn to create some custom audio CD's.

(I have been using it for DVDs and data backups for ages and love it!)

 

I followed all the excellent instructions on the "How to write an

Audio CD from music files using ImgBurn" page:

http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=5555

 

However, despite the information being entered into the CUE file,

nothing appears in the media players for either the Disc text/labels

or the tracks.

 

I found another section in this forum referring to CD-TEXT files

and whatnot, but there are no additional files needed/used with

this version (2.5) apparently. All the information I entered

is CORRECTLY burnt to the disc, as ImgBurn can extract it back

off later. So the CUE file is working fine... except... nothing

appears in any player. No TAG data is read.

 

Sort of defeats the purpose of going to the trouble to enter

everything if it's going to be completely ignored.

 

Windows Media Player, VLC and several other players I've tried

all come up with NO TITLE/UNKNOWN... for everything.

 

So... Help PLEASE! What's the solution?

How do we get the information correctly read back into the

players? (Is it some compatibility option? I recently played

with MP3 tags and found several settings exist across players.

Although, I'm guessing the CD Audio is handled differently.)

 

Again, ImgBurn is a GREAT tool and I use it a lot, and

thoroughly recommend it to all - but I would like to sort out

this issue with the Audio CD burning!

 

Many thanks to all who read and comment!

Any software player can't read CD TEXT out of Audio CD. Put the CD in a car stereo or a player that has support for CD TEXT and see if it is there or try to extract that CD to .mp3 with EAC or CDEx. If it has CD TEXT in it, you will see it.

 

There is out there some kind of plugins for media players, that use a text base list extracted from CD TEXT with EAC and placed in CDPLAYER.INI. Use Google and you'll find.

Google 'wmpcdtext'.
