dgpretzel Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) I recorded a local concert, and am making a CD for the players. I used CD-TEXT to add PEFORMER and TITLE information. It worked like a charm. I can see the metadata in WMP (have version 1.2 of the CD_TEXT plugin for WMP). Now the strange thing. I have tried to change the CD-TEXT. I tried editing the existing CUE file. I tried using the CUE Tool in ImgBurn to create a new CUE file (with the new CD-TEXT). I have retried the second action, and then renamed the first CUE file. In all cases, I successfully burn a CD (and observe the CD-TEXT notation in the log), and then play it in WMP. It plays fine, but in all cases, the CD-TEXT displayed in WMP is precisely that of the very first CD I burned (with the original CD-TEXT). No matter what I do, the original CD-TEXT is displayed in WMP. I'm thinking that either WMP has cached the original CD-TEXT and refuses to read the data off the new CDs. or ImgBurn has done something similar. Has anyone encountered this, or have any thoughts or suggestions on how I can diagnose what is reallhy happening? It is very strange. I just can't get rid of the original CD-TEXT metadata. Thank you.

dgpretzel Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 Bad form to reply to my own thread, but, I did some further investigating, which I should have done before posting the original question(s). I examined the CD in "read" mode in ImgBurn. All the displayed CD-TEXT metadata is exactly as in the CUE file. (That is, it is correct.) Yet, when I play the CD in WMP, it (WMP) continues to display the original, old (incorrect) CD-TEXT metadata. Conclusion: ImgBurn is doing things correctly. WMP, with the plugin, is doing things wrong. Anyone have any suggestions to make WMP (with the plugin) behave correctly. Thank you. DG
