| Summary | 0005309: CD-Text written by MM is not displayed on some players (e.g. Sony MXD-D400) | ||||
| Description | Reported by Daniel: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/staff/index.php?_m=tickets&_a=viewticket&ticketid=3281&offset=0 This is Daniel's observation: There actually *is* CD-TEXT on the disc, *but* it's not compatible with my Sony MXD-D400 (MD recorder/CD player). When I played the disc burned with MM on another (car) player, that player displayed the CD-TEXT. It also displayed on my default software player on the PC (Spider Player 2.3.6), and of course in MM. But when I play this same disc in my MXD-D400, the 'CD-TEXT' indicator doesn't light up, and the display shows 'No name' for both disc and tracks. However, a disc burned with Nero Express Essentials V7 on the same (Yamaha) burner *does* correctly display CD-TEXT. Given that Sony are the originators of the CD format, I'm guessing that there's an obscure CD-TEXT bit somewhere in the frame headers that most CD-TEXT players ignore, but which Sony expect to be there. And I'm guessing you're not correctly writing that bit. You'll probably need to go through the CD-TEXT specification with a fine-toothed comb to find it! Would you like me instead to post you two CD-RW discs - one burned with Nero Express Essentials, that correctly displays CD-TEXT on my MXD-D400, and one burned with MM that doesn't (but displays on other players)? If so I'll need your postal address. | ||||

I reviewed the code and it seems that we can do much about this (at least not for version 3.1). We currently use Primo Burner as CD/DVD engine for reading and writing CDs/DVDs and we also use their method to write CD-Text which allow us to set only the text values like Artist, ALbum, Genre, etc. I am not sure why CD-Text written by our engine is not displayed on the Sony MXD-D400 although is displayed on other players. We are contacting Primo for a help, hopefully they will reply and be able to help with this. |

My guess is that the problem is that Primo writes CD-Text as multi-byte characters that the Sony MXD-D400 cannot read?? |

As note in 0005811: CD-text encoding is always ISO/IEC 8859-1, which means that some users have trouble reading CDs with alternate formats, and cannot write CDs with alternate formats. There is no way to set the encoding to a different format and the code does not handle multiple encodings currently. This will be fixed by Primo in the future. |

Closing as dup of 0005811. |
