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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! ;-) -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks all of you for the info. I start to realized is a little more that what I though. CD-text is the key

Seems that I need special drive as well as software. I will keep working and if I get a solution I'll post it.

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.

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
