CD with no song titles

[Atuchi]

After editing songs from LPs and inserting audio tags and burning CD, I get the songs on the CD but no title information. I only get Track 1, Track 2, etc. Is there a way to fix the problem? Appreciate your assistance.

If you got entries such as Track01.cda, Trac02.cda,.... then there is no problem. An audio disc always has those entries. What are you expecting? What kind of CD do you want, an audio CD or an mp3 CD?

What are you using to play the CD that is showing you "Track 1", "Track 2" etc.? If you're using Windows Media Player, that's what you should expect since by default, WMP doesn't support CD-Text. If you're looking at the disc in Windows Explorer, than as Walt said, that's to be expected. (Audio CDs have tracks, not files, so there is no "name" associated with a track as there is with a file. It's a different file system.)

 

I hear you saying, "But it shows the artist and title for all of my commercial CDs!" Yes, it gets that information from the Internet, not from the disc, and your CD that you made from your LP won't match any of the disc information available, thus, it doesn't show track titles. (It creates a code based on the number of tracks and the start time and length of each track to create a unique ID to search on.)

 

Now, we also have to assume that when you wrote your disc, you had the checkbox for "Write CD-Text" checked too. Otherwise, track names don't get written to the CD.

 

So, does that help? Or are you using a different player that you think should display CD-Text, which you're certain you wrote?

 

Let us know.

I was having the same "problem" when using Easy VHS to DVD, burning audio CD. I have since upgraded to Creator 2010 Pro. I have an open ticket with technical support. I have been very specific, that I was using the Burn Audio CD, correctly adding my titles and artists to the tracks and then using Windows Media Player with the CD that was created. Each time the CDs were played it showed Track 1, Track 2, etc. Not the track data. For over a week I have been receiving "instructions" on what to do to make this work. So, this is not technically possible? Not sure why I never received this information from tech support? I did burn an audio CD using MP3. With this CD the titles do show correctly when played in Windows Media Player, but then the CD does not play in a CD player. No way to have it all? Thank you d_deweywright for your post.

Ah... I said, "by default" for Windows Media Player not displaying CD-Text. There is a plug-in available here that is supposed to enable CD-Text capability in WMP. I've never used that plug-in and can't make any claims for how well it works.

 

That might "give you everything."

 

One thing I'm not sure of is if all of the fields available in CD-Text are filled properly in Creator 2010/Music Disc Creator. I'm certain the track name is filled, but I'm not 100% sure on the artist and album title.

 

Let us know if that helps!

d_deweywright's link to the plugin: that works fine in WMP 11 for audio CDs, I've used it for years. But make sure that when creating the Audio CD in its settings you have add CD-Text checked and that you have Disc title and Album artist filled in

Thanks for all your responses. Glad to hear that it's a system problem. Aloha from Hawaii.
