Hello,

I actually have Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.5, but my issue would probably apply to any version. That is, I'm an indie musician who needs to burn my MP3s as CD audio (CDA format), but cannot figure out why the artist, song title, and CD title info included in my MP3s does not carry over to CDA format. Instead, the song titles show as "Track01," Track02," etc.

I used an ID3 tag editor program to include the text in my MP3s, and Roxio is able to read the text when I create a new project. I don't understand what I'm missing here.  I've tried using Sonic RecordNow! and Windows Media Player as well to burn the CDs, but same issue.  Any ideas on how I can fix this?  

Thanks!

Chris,  I don't have 7.5 anymore and there have been a lot of changes between V7/7.5 and V8/V9/V10.  If you use Music Disc Creator and you check properties. Is there a tick mark next to add CD Text?  

I'm assuming that you have players that will read the CD Text if it is there.

You need to sure you have a player that can READ CD text.

HACP can - you might download it and see if it reads the text.

If so, that means the other players couldn't read it, but it was included in the burn.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. There is a "CD Text" tab in the Project Properties window; within the tab, I can choose which languages to include.  I don't see an "add CD text" option anywhere within the Creator Classic window, nor in any of the menu options.

So far, none of the players I've used have been able to read the text. What's so bizarre is that Roxio does read the text (disc title, artist name, track number) when I open my project file, but it doesn't burn the text to CD.  That makes no sense. How is getting lost in translation? That's the big question of the day.

Hi Lynne,

Unfortunately, HACP is unable to read the text as well; it only shows the track numbers.  I appreciate your help, though.

The option is in Music Disc Creator. That's the program to burn audio discs. Creator Classis is used to burn data discs.

That changed in one of the versions. Are you using EMC Version 8?

EMC 7.5 has no Music Disc Creator.  You burn music from Creator Classic.

I missed that this post was in the wrong place.  If no one has a complaint, I'll move it.

Hello Chris,

I actually have EMC 7.5 too, and it writes CD-Text for me. I wouldn't bother with Windows Media Player - it doesn't read CD-Text.

As long as your recorder supports CD Text (not all do, and very few players display it) I think the answer lies here in the burn dialog box which you see when you click on Burn.




I've ringed the important part. If you follow that you should be writing CD-Text. You can confirm/deny whether it's working with the HACP player.

If you still can't write CD-Text, come back and give me your recorder's details and I can check if it is capable of burning CD-Text.

Regards,
Brendon
