CD Text??!!!

Rednroll wrote on 11/25/2003, 6:38 AM

Is this feature ever going to be implemented into any of the Sony products? This is getting rediculous. I get clients coming in for mastering sessions, and ask me if I have the ability to put their song titles on the CD, so it shows on their radio display....I say, "Yes", but this is a pain in the ass for something that really should be simple. Right now, I either do all the editing and assembling in Vegas or CD Architect. Then I have to render it all to a huge .Wav file. Import that .WAV into Nero then re add the CD track ID's and add the CD text. Good grief Charlie Brown!!! Can you say "unproductive" and "time consuming"?

Hi there! Somehow the cdautils link on Colins site doesn't exist anymore! :-(
Does anybody still have the cdautils.zip (or CDPBurn from this) and would be willing to send it to me somehow? Please let me know - would be really great!!!

Cheers,

I totaly agree with you all on the CD-Text issue.

Number 2 in your list I would like to be implemented as a feature to save an ISO-image to be burned with other programs too.
Nero for multiple burners at a time send the image over the internet to be burned by others (factories etc.) and still remain exactly as I intended.

Our engineering team is working on an update that will add CD Text and updated drive support. You can sign up to be notified when this update is released on the CD Architect product page. This update will be free to registered users of CD Architect 5.0, and will also be included with any purchase of Sound Forge 8 software. Sound Forge 8 and CD Architect 5.2 are scheduled for release in early March.

For more information see the Sound Forge 8 press release and Sound Forge 8 product page.

I have to admit that is a classy move on Sony's part to provide CDA 5.2 as a free update to existing CDA 5 users, irregardless if they upgrade or buy SF8.
The new "Audio Layering" feature looks promising. Is that similar to WaveLabs "Audio Montage"?
It looks like the release date has moved up a little too (early March).

Thanks for the news update SonyKSA,

audio layering already exists in 5.0. It's just the ability to add a second audio layer for better crossfading.

Hey, just wanted to bump this discussion up. It's dropped down to #32 after being in the Top 10 for well over a year. Just want to say Thank you Sony for adding CDtext support to v5.2. <Glass lifted> Here's to hoping we don't have to go thru the same thing on the Vegas side.
