Donuts Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 I downloaded an album which consists of one large FLAC file plus .cue. ImgBurn wrote it to CD-R successfully. However I noticed an issue with the CD Text data, at least when played in my car CD player. The .cue file contains a single PERFORMER line before the TITLE, FILE and TRACK lines. When I play the disc, on the CD player LCD the artist/performer shows "No Artist" for every track. Here's an extract from the .cue file: PERFORMER "Bambee" TITLE "Fairytales" FILE "Bambee - Fairytales.flac" WAVE TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "Cowgirl" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "Dr.Doolittle" INDEX 01 03:22:02 TRACK 03 AUDIO TITLE "Seventeen" INDEX 01 06:23:12 So PERFORMER is specified once, not for every track. I modified the .cue file to duplicate the PERFORMER line for every track entry, and burning a disc using the modified .cue file showed the artist text for each track on the player LCD.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 The album artist will have been written to the disc correctly, as that's what your cue is set to do. You could check that with ImgBurn itself in Read mode -> Click on the disc information button. Your player must not like using/displaying the album artist for the individual tracks and expects them to have their own info recorded. I'd say that's a limitation of its own CDTEXT implementation.
