As my post title states, is it possible for us to include the CD Text info. in a burn-to-disk-image action (i.e., burn a image to the hard disk)?

I want to include it so when I burn a CD disk at a later date the song titles are included.

If "yes", how is this done (I do not see such an option in the menus and when I do the burn-to-disk-image it appears that there is no CD Text included.

Regards,

Steverino

EDIT: I just experimented a bit more. If I burn a CD from a disk image file it does contain info. about the track titles - because they show up when I put this new burnt CD into my PC disk drive and launch Roxio Creator - the titles show up.
HOWEVER, when I play the CD in my car player, no CD Text track titles are displayed.
It looks like when a CD is burnt from a disk image it can't pass on the CD Text onto a burnt CD.
So close but yet so far...Still Stymied.

If you burn to a disc or an image it shouldn't matter.The image should be exactly what would be recorded to a disc.
Not all players can display CD-Text.Are you sure your car can do this?Windows Media Player doesn't on a computer.
I'd give it a test but can't right now.I will later if no one else has by then.

tbrewst,

Absolutely my car unit displays CD Text.

Let me confirm when I get home, but I believe that the disk image file contains the info., as you suggest, because when I look at a CD burned from this disk image within the Roxio Software, the titles show up - i.e, the Roxio software knows this CD has the CD Text info, and can interpret it, (unless Roxio had saved these titles elsewhere on my PC and retrieved it when it saw this CD - would/could Roxio do this?). But, this same disk will not display the CD Text in my car unit. I'll confirm this.

I also noticed another interesting point. The particular CD I'm now working with, which is an original bought-from-the-store CD, will not show the CD Text in my car. I mean the store-bought CD will not show the CD Text. However, a disk I burnt some time ago, from this original CD, does show the CD Text in my car. Amazing to me, but true. Now, when I burnt this CD copy some time ago, I might have manually dragged the song titles, within the Roxio copy dialogue box, from the top pane (where the source tracks are listed) down to the lower pane (where the tracks to be included in the burn are listed). I can't remember how I burnt it. Maybe I used the Copy a Disk option.

Sorry for the long-windedness. I just wish the Roxio software was better documented. The marketing and visual-appearance people get way to much say in the products. We need less prettiness and better documentation (IMO).

I should mention I'm using an older version of the Creator - version 7.

tbrewst, if you tried this yourself it would be appreciated. If you can do it and you have a newer version, I may upgrade.

Thanks for the help.

Evening Edit: I confirmed, that what I wrote above is correct. Roxio sees the CDText titles on a disk burnt from disk-image, but that same burnt disk will not display CD Text on my car unit.

More info: Here's some interesting info. The burnt CD that I describe above, that came from a disk image, that does not show CD Text in my car unit - well, I burnt a CD disk from it - and wala, it shows CD Text on my car unit.

My conclusion: The disk image contains the CD Text track titles info, but the Roxio software is not capable of using it when going from disk image to burning a CD. (This might not be the case if the Roxio software got the track titles from somewhere on my PC, possibly having archived this info. in a previous use of the original CD.)
