Thread Name: Tech: Track ID on home-burned CDs
Subject: RE: Tech: Track ID on home-burned CDs
Thanks for all the information. I rarely burn what my computer calls "Music" CDs (traditional CD format). I usually make "data" CDs with MP3s. I have a hearing loss, and can't tell any difference between high-quality MP3s and a CD.

But I've mastered a few CD-player CDs for people over the years, and they've generally liked the results. One client (my only male client to date - but I was recording his wife, who was wonderful) drove me crazy until I finally got his CD to show track names on Windows Media Player. The others haven't cared about track labels at all - the most recent client didn't care, but I thought I'd make a stab at it to see if it is possible. I may experiment with "CD-Text" sometime, so thanks for that tip, Treewind and Grishka.

With all the MP3 tracks you can fit on a CD, it's essential to have track names on MP3s (and it's so cool on the display on my new Honda...)
