785058 2009-06-23 09:47:00 I am in the process of putting some old (very old!) tapes onto a CD. Is anyone able to tell me how to get the titles to show, rather than just:
Track 01, Track 02 etc?

As always, TIA. :)

785060 2009-06-23 14:10:00 Are you writing them as audio CDs or as data?

If it's an audio CD it won't matter, but if it's data then I guess you will want a sensible filename.

There is no way for your PC to work out what the tapes were called, so like Rob99 said you will have to manually rename the files to whatever you want. If they are MP3s etc

785062 2009-06-23 20:48:00 I thought I had it sussed last night - I used Nero 6 and was able to put the names into properties . But no, they still didn't show up when I opened Quintessential Player (I use that as my default music player) .

I am saving and burning in . wav format, not . mp3, so not sure about your suggestion, Chil .

I want the name of each track to show up in the player, not the 'whole' - so don't know yet . I am recording an 'audio' disk, not a 'data' disk .

Agent - WHERE do you manually rename each file - I would be happy to do that if I could work out where to do it!

I DID do it in a bit of a hurry, as I had people coming to the house, so will look a bit further tonight . Now off to work to pay for all of this frivolity! :)

785063 2009-06-23 22:21:00 Save them to your harddrive first, then right click > rename.
Same process you would use to rename any other file.

Should auto detect track names.

Not from a tape. I have CDs that those services do not work on.

I have done that - and no, it doesn't! To explain again, I have saved the file on my HDD with the correct (new) name, but when it is burnt as a audio cd, the tracks show up as 'Track 1, Track 2 etc...Not the name I has assigned. :(

785067 2009-06-24 00:07:00 Not sure on that one, I always burn MP3 data CDs, you would need a compatable machine to play these in also.

Does a recient store bought CD have the titles you want?
