Can I save the song information on an audio CD using sonicstage?

Hi! I have a MiniDisc player (MZ-NHF800) and sonicstage 4.3.01 on windows 7. I sometimes use sonicstage to burn audio cds from my (sonicstage) library (usually mp3s). My question is if I can keep the music information (artist, track title) on the audio cd so that when I play it it displays that information instead of track1,2...

I have posted the same question at the minidisc section too, by mistake.

Thanx

SonicStage burns CD-TEXT information (Album, Artist and Titles) to Audio CDs, if your CD-writer supports it. Updating the CD burning engine from http://kb.roxio.com/content/000070GN may help improve CD-TEXT burning support on some drives.

Thank you. I just did the update but still it's track1, 2, 3.....

I am not given the option anywhere (in sonicstage) to add the information to the cd. Are you sure it is just matter of whether my cd-writer supports it?

SonicStage contains no settings for CD-TEXT, it just writes it, if possible. I've tried it today (titled some artificially generated tracks, and recorded them to an Audio CD in SonicStage), and it works with my burner (not the most modern one). My set-top Panasonic DVD player detects and displays the titles.

That's interesting to know. I never thought it could be a matter of the cd-writer. Mine is an Optiarc DVD RW AD-7561S ATA with lightscribe. I don't really know if it's supposed to be good. It came with my laptop. Well, I guess that cannot be changed. Thanx again.

Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice. I totally failed (as mentioned in the other thread) to write any MP3's by conversion to AudioCD (1411/PCM). But I did take some other (named) tracks from SonicStage and burn a CD with them. No track information whatsoever when I insert the disk into my MXD-D400 whose CD reading drive is known to read the CD-Text information (created on the exact same CD writing drive on my computer, using Nero).

So it looks to me as if the culprit is SonicStage.

Update: I just tried the CD (it lay around on my desk all week, I was so disgusted) in my D-NE320 Sony walkman player. The titles showed up fine. Admittedly this was only "regular" CD tracks, not MP3s that had been converted.

But in the MXD-D400, there are no titles, at all. Extremely weird because Nero burns the same CD perfectly, and the titles show up in both devices.

What does Nero know that SonicStage does not?
