Wouldn't that be more of a proprietary issue? Isn't CD-Text a Sony thing? Because CD's I'd burned using Nero (before switching to iTunes for my musical purposes) with CD-Text worked great in that. I'm guessing you'd be hard-pressed to find a program that would read it when CDDB/freeDB is right THERE. |

Seems a rather trivial reason to switch operating systems.
Instead, have you looked around for Windows CD-players and weather they work with CD-text? |

KsCD usually, though I use cdparanoia if I feel like storing a CD on hard disk. Both of them support CD-text. I've used some program 'playcd' before (came with the OS, forgot which one), XMMS, and BeepMP... they all supported CD-text.
Though I don't think any of the ones I've mentioned have a Windows port and since your car player reads it, the discs themselves should be proper; doesn't suprise me, I've heard of Microsoft crippling their products on purpose (like FAT32 in Windows 2000/XP). |

My car's CD player displays CD-Text of the audio CD's I make. So, I'm sure I've been enabling them. So, what player do you use, FreeDOS? |

I honestly don't know a single PC CD-Player that doesn't display CD-Text. What are you using?
Also, I find it odd that Windows Media doesn't display it on CD-Rs. Is this an intentional crippled feature, or are you burning CD-Text properly? |

only works for retail CDs. My cds aren't retail, they are custom maded, so they aren't in the CD database |

Usually WMP does it |

So, when I make audio CDs in Nero, I enable CD text. This allows me to put my CD into certain players and have that player display the title, artist, album info, etc. Is there any program that can do that? |
