Trouble's with TAGS when burning CD's

[Jimmie]

For the life of me I can't figure out how to this:

When I have a final mix and burn it to a CD, then put the CD in the CD Rom drive and open the media player to play the CD it says "unknown artist" "Track 1" and no album info. I did chance the tag's in the advanced tag editor. But when I burn the .wav file it won't show any of the details? Is there a program that should do this? I know it's possible, and I am sure someone on this forum knows what I am talkin' about.

I hope I didn't confuse the heck outta everyone reading this ... I am terrible with words.

any help would be great, thanks peops.

It may be your software. Nero will put on tags that show up in the CD player's display but so far I haven't found a way to do that with CD Architect.

I use Nero 6 .. it does at the title and artist that will display on the CD players menu. I am talking about when you take a CD and place it in your CD rom and then play it on windows media player. I want to have info displayed there rather than "unkown artist"

As I mentioned I am able to do that to .wav files, but once it get's burned it is no longer there when you rip the files from the CD back onto the harddrive. Yet some CD's I ripped had all the info installed on the CD. Know what I mean?

Probably is software tho, I would like to know what I need to get to do this?

Windows Media player looks at the number of songs and the length of each song, computers some numbers, and then looks them up in a big internet database to figure out what CD it is.

not al CDR have CD Text. Check your CDR drive attributes in nero

The CD text in Nero is totally different that what I am talking about. "dirtythermos" is on the track, I was going over that site. Just wierd, I thought it was something in the mastering stages. I released a CD with my band, and all the songs are named right when I play it in my CD rom through windows media player. But it says a completely different name for the band. I want to change that if it is only being stored on a database somewhere. If not I want to know how to correct that for the next sessions I get mastered.

Maybe you could just adopt the band name the program displays.

WMP is reading CDDB. It doesn't read CD-TEXT subcodes. You need to submit the recording to the CDDB and freedb, wait several days, then try again.

Otherwise, just pop it into a CD player that reads CD-TEXT (there are several programs that read it also - WMP not being one of them).
