Anyone know the correct way or the best software to use to get the name of the artists and music on the CD so it shows when played in windows media or mac? I used CD architect, Sonar, Pro tools, Sound Forge, and Wavelab, used CD architect to actually lay out all 15 tracks and I typed in all the right names for the music and artists but when I played the resultant CD on Windows media, the sound came out perfectly but in the artist window, it says 'Artist unknown'. Any way to get the right info on the CD?

That won't write it on the CD. I want that stuff on the CD like the big guys.
Name all the Tracks as their intended songname, then once imported into iTunes just filli in the fields on the 'Get Info > Info' Tab (via Right click on track name in Library view).
When you burn to CD this should then all be on there with the audio tracks.

Your playback program just queries an online database and gets the information to display from there (based on the file hash or CRC or something like that, some kind of unique ID anyway)
So you'll just need to insert your audio Cd onto your drive and use your audio program of choice to "submit track information" to the online music database, whether is be freedb.org or gracenote.com (formerly cddb.com)

Originally posted by dk3nnyI heard from a radio engineer there is a form of CD called enhanced CD that does just that, sets aside an area on the CD allocated to artist names, song titles and images. Have to google it in and find out about them.

Is this any help?
