Q: how do you write the track info so it can be display in a cd player

When you say "CD player" do you mean a music player in linux or a stereo system. If the latter, then they don't show track names, do they? Also, how did you "fill the spaces"? If you just edited the file names then that's not enough.

...

Any CD info I've seen, comes from a CDDB database, which someone uploaded. I don't think there's any means to store that info on the disk. There's no reason why you couldn't create your own description file, so that the CD player can read it.

The file you are talking about is the "ID3" tag. There are several editor app. options for how to create your own in linux either manually or automatically. What I'm not 100% sure about is whether the ID3 editors will work just as well for .wav files as it does for .mp3, etc because I've not put it to the test. But, that info should give you a start to google better than you might have up to now :-) HTH.

I think he was referring to CDText-info on audio CDs... Many new CD players can display such info, and when you insert a CD with CDText, you can get the player to display album name, artist name and track name instead of or in addition to the track number/time info. Since his CD player displays the track names as Track 1... etc, it is obviously capable of displaying CD Text. The question is how to make k3b write *your* preferred track name instead of the default "Track 1".

The CD player in KDE, (I've forgotten it's name) allows you to create your own list and upload it to a server. While I haven't made my own CD's from .WAV files, I believe that's supported in K3B. So, create a CD, then make a list and check it twice! ;-) James

This seems to be the approach of the Windows player but you have to be connected and I am more interested to use it in just plain player like the ones in the car. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Since you burnt them on a CD I assume you're talking about a audio CD intended for the use with a normal stereo system/(Car)CD-Player. The text you're talking about is called "CD-Text" and was developed by the Sony company. It's able to write informations about the performer and title name on the disc - however(!) not every cd player or stereo system is able to read this(in fact many can't - guess you've the best chances with a brand devices) - make sure yours can.

Thanks all of you for the info. I start to realized is a little more that what I though. CD-text is the key http://web.ncf.ca/aa571/cdtext.htm http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq03.html#S3-28 Seems that I need special drive as well as software. I will keep working and if I get a solution I'll post it. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

as well as software. I will keep working and if I get a solution I'll post it. Well, you should defenitely find much more software which supports reading CD-Text (KAudioCreator for example, think Amarok should do it too).

Michael, So far I have not been able to read it from any of the software players like amarok xine etc. I need to know if I am really recording it. I have to find a commercial cd that has cd-text and see where it works and then use it as a text bench. Well I was expecting a simple solution but that is not often so ;-) -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I hope you are not confusing two different systems. I'm not sure that you need a special drive to digitally encode song names, etc. in between tracks, which seems to be what most responders have assumed, and they have named some s/w type programs, but if you are thinking Light-Scribe, which physically prints (alpha-meric human-readable) information on the surface of the disk, then you need a special drive, and of course the s/w that goes with it. Lite-On makes a drive like this, with s/w, and I think there are others. I understand there is Linux s/w for Light-Scribe also, but I don't know if it comes with the drive, or only that for Windows. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

Q: how do you write the track info so it can be display in a cd player I think you need an idv3 tag editor. http://easytag.sourceforge.net/ Not sure whether there is a SUSE rpm available for this.
