587882 2007-09-04 12:38:00 After burning a new CD compilation in Nero 6 (xp home) it always says 'Unknown Album' whenever i put the cd on and the tracks always appear as track1,track2 etc
How do you get the track names appearing as they should and the CD being called by whatever name i gave it ?

587883 2007-09-04 14:34:00 You will need to name the songs/files before you burn them to the cd.
When you rip your music to your computer, the default setting is to name them track1, track 2 etc and all produced by default artist.

Just rename them and your problem will be solved.

587884 2007-09-04 14:38:00 I always name them before burning...when i put the disc in another machine or hi-fi it says unknown and refers to all tracks as track1,2 etc

Is there a way around this ?

587885 2007-09-04 14:44:00 Never had that problem..but I use WMP10 or 9 for ripping them first, then let Windows search out the album information and the track names, durations, artist and such.

It always shows that info in my MP3's and also cd's burn that are played afterwards.

587886 2007-09-04 19:39:00 I'm not sure but is it related to ticking some option that enables CD-Text?
think there's an option like this in nero
I can't test it out I don't have a CD player that can display any text...track number only for me

587888 2007-09-04 21:35:00 Are you burning a normal cd or are you burning an .mp3 disc?
If you are just burning a standard (.wma etc) cd, even if you have named the files they won't always show - depending on the burning software you are using.

Just burn an .mp3, you can get so much more on them aswell.

I don't have any problems either. I think you have to be connected to the internet for the song names to show up, as most songs whether wave or MP3 have some code in them which has the songs info etc. in it, which is sent to some music data base on the internet which then sends you back the name and artist of the song etc. to be displayed in your player.
I think that is how it works.

587890 2007-09-04 22:08:00 The original extracted CD has a signature formed by the track and gap durations. If that's sent to various databases you get a listing that can be used for MP3 tagging. PaulD (232)

Once the album art and tracks and artist stuff is in, you don't have too be online to view them....

..........maybe this is part of your Windows settings and the harddrive properties for file sharing or something else that is associated with the ability to fast switch users...I am confused again...but I have a good reason..new drugs (medically prescribed, of course!)

I DO know that the art and tracks all appear in my Palm and my Sansa c240 when I sync them with WMP..so they get pretty global installations..even in the MP3s I play in my CD player in my car..the title's are all there too...
