Just bought a vehicle that has a "text" button for the CD player, cool.

So, when I put in a CD that I burned, no titles come up.

Is there anything I can do for this to happen?

Could you have burned it without CD Text.

Exactly...

Ok. I can agree with that.

So, lets start again.

I am a newbie.

How do I burn a CD with CD Text? What programs do I need? What equipment do I need? Can this be done with the programs/equipment I presently have? What are the questions a newbie should ask? How do you make a newbie fell comfortable in a forum you love so much?

So, I hope somewhere I have asked a semi-intelligent question so that I might get an intelligent answer.

For a free app Burrrn (www.burrrn.net) is good. Does CD-Text, on-the-fly conversion from mp3 and loads more.

It really depends on how you do it.

If you copy CDs to play in the car then that might not work as a lot don't have CD-Text. To get round this you can rip them from the CD with Cdex (free) - to mp3 or wav format, no quality loss with the latter - which can then look up an online database & get the track details.

Then burn with your favourite app, mine is Roxio's Creator Classic. This always gives me CD-Text with mp3 or wav format tracks. Note that burrrn won't pick up the track titles from a wav format track, but with mp3 it's fine.

Nero will do this also , supposedly, but I've never got it to work properly.

That's how I do it, so what have you currently got?

Btw you also need a burner that'll do CD-Text but mostly they do so shouldn't be a problem.

Hi Sam,

first of all, welcome to the forums.

Please don't get angry... reading your first post, your level of knowledge of the subject was not clear. The Audio Forum is not the Newbie forum.

It's quite common to give, if possible, a short answer to the problem, and to expand it at a second stage if required. This generally saves time and allows to help more people (answering more questions), there is no "bad intent" in that.

Must admit I didn't detect anything in Sam's reply.

What program and CD drive are you using right now? Nero can do it...
