CD/CD-R/DVD-R Masters In adding CD Text, there are couple of things to note. CD
Text is supported in some - not all - CD players ranging from
audio decks, to standalone carousels and mini systems. Secondly,
if you've burned your CD master with software like Nero or
Toast, that allows you to manually associate titles and names
with each track, then once you've burned your disc, it should
call up the information provided the system you're playing it on
supports CD Text. Adding song info for Winamp or iTunes is a different process
altogether. It's a comparable result, but meant for broader
recognition. In order to add song info, you or your mastering
engineer needs to submit the information to the Gracenote Music
Recognition Service, formerly knows as the CDDB (Compact Disc
Database). In order to do this, you must either purchase
Gracenote CDDB MusicID software and license, or have it done for
you by a recording or mastering engineer who owns a copy. The
submission of your MusicID tags, titles, and name associated
with a recording generally takes about 48-72 hours to appear in
the database, however, this is still not a guarantee that the
textual designation associated with your recording will appear
in certain players that don't support it. (Normal cost to setup
titles on your master is $125) Artist:
