One way of proving if the CD Text stuff has been written is, use something like CDex and pop-in your new burned CD. Under the CDDB menu, there's an option to read CD Text.

Cdex is free :) and easy to install. Might save some more coasters :)

I've got Nero and Clone-CD Software on my P.C. I want to write cds using CD-Text so that I can see who the artist and song title is in my car as my stereo has CD-Text facilities.

I'm sure there's a guru in here somewhere that can help.

I used to use Feurio to write my cd's before I had an mp3 player.
Very good for doing cd-text.. loads better than Nero.

Get it here

You can use it as long as you want without having to buy it. Just get a few nag screens.

Cheers

You can definately do it with Nero - it will even look up all the details for you on CDDB.

Can't remeber exactly how as it's a while since I did it, but I can have a look this evening.

What version of Nero ?

Yeh in Nero if u change the track names n disc name etc when u drag/drop the files to burn as an audio CD, when u come to the burning dialog Nero should give u the option to write the CDtext as well, or its automatic. As it knows the track names have changed, I believe. I know for sure it does this in Roxio EZCD5.

Thanks for the quick responses folks.

I've just got the P.C. so I reckon the version of Nero is quite new. Tried it a few times, did the drag and drop thing, relabelled them all, burned them but still no CD-text. What am I doing wrong?

HELP!

In Nero, when on the Write / Record CD box...

If you need to click "close Wizard".

Click the Audio-CD tab and check the write CD Text option.

Chris

I'm a bit of an amateur with computers so please bear with me. What does the Write/record cd box look like?

And so I have to close the wizard to get this icon?

I need step by step intructions me thinks.............

Cheers

Same probs here with Nero - I have set everything up fine to write the CD Text (go to File > Compilation Info) but it still doesn't show up on my Sony head unit.

Given up these days.

When you go to burn the CD in Nero (click the red icon on the toolbar or File menu > Burn CD).

I'll try that tonight.

Will let you know what happens.

:cool: Gordon.

If you can read the text on your cd, you ain't going fast enough, slowboy!!!

BB ;)

Aye

Very good beemerboy.

Gordon

Aaha!!! :D

Never noticed the separate Write button before. I just checked the option, then went on to burn. :rolleyes:

You will need to make sure the "Disc-At-Once" box is ticked in the "Burn" tab because cd text can only be written on to the disc this way.

anyone got the nero burning 5.5 setups?

Not all CD-Burners support CD-Text. I know mine doesn't (it's an old Yamaha x4x4x16 CD-RW. I'm sure you'll be fine with newer models however

Just so you're aware.

Joolz

A 4 speed burner?? :eek: Get with it :p

You can check with Nero what your burner supports by selecting the Recorder menu, then the choose recorder option.

You should see something like this

And before Rik gives me a hard time, that's only an example. I've a nice 48x burner :)

Also make sure you use disc-at-once burning if you are doing mix CDs as if you use track-at-once it will put 2 second gaps between the track.

ozzy - nowt wrong with that burner mate, it may be 4x but i can burn 98.25 minutes of music onto a 90 min CD with my drive and read it with every CD/DVD player i own ;) :D

Damn Nero!

Tried last night but I'm still making coasters/Frisbees/UFOs etc,etc,etc. My dog's getting tired chasing them!

What am I doing wrong? I drag and drop them onto my playlist, name every track, close wizard and click the cd-text option and then click the write tab. My P.C. is new and I have checked that the cd writer is compatible.

What else can it be? HELP!

Told you... try Feurio.. It pisses on Nero for cd text..

or WinOnCD by CeQuadrat - that will do mp3's and CD text very nice app.
