So I've gotten through all the mixing and mastering I can do for my band's CD, and have made it up to the last step. I have all 12 44.1 16-bit WAVs ready to burn to a CD. I'm having trouble burning them to a CD with all of the information I want on the CD. Ideally I'd like to have the artist, album title, song title, album art, and year; Anything else is really extra. Let's just say I can access whatever program I may need... what is the process for burning the CD correctly with all of the information? I've tried burrrn and windows media player to no avail; I cannot get the info to show up on the computer when I go to rip it.

I'll post some of the mixes up a little later once I convert them to mp3s.

thanks in advance!
 
You should access CD Architect...I have heard that it does all that stuff.
 
You don't need any special software, you just need to petition the DADC to change the red book standard, and you'll be all set.
 
Those features only work with legitimately paid for and registered software, unfortunately.

Forget everything these guys said (but listen to it as well lol) Just line all your songs up in the order you want them and get yourself and burning program that can encode files and CD's...Most do it..Window Media player is bottom of the barrel garbage and I wouldn't recommend buring a master with that at all. There are so many that can do it..I personally love Nero..It does it all, and you can control the quality output. Either way, just don't normalize your files in whatever burning software you want to use. They all should format the red book in a way that is readable on most CD players and definitely on all computers.

I think y'all are missing the point. The main point to his post, other than bragging about stealing software, is that he wants all the above info on the CD. Unless the redbook standard has changed recently, what he is asking to do is impossible - no matter how much software you steal, it's just not possible.

The CDDB suggestion is about as close as he can come to what he wants.
 
my apologies, what I wrote was a little misleading.
I would like to have as much information on the CD as possible is all I mean.
I'm not the most experienced person in the world, I just figured what I listed was possible considering I've seen it come off of CD's before. I now know that I only saw it because my music library went to the internet and grabbed it before ripping the CD.
So basically, within standards, what is the best recommended way to burn the final mixes?
 
What about CD-Text?? He can put all his info there. Wavelab Essential can encode CD-Text for you... probably CD architect, too.

But yeah, to get your info on the internet download stuff like cddb, you need a barcode and isrc codes for your songs. Check out CD Baby on how to get that stuff.

Can't put Album art in there, and Nero will put CD text in for him. Can't get any easier, and he won't have to steal it.
