Why?
How would you use it?
What problem will it solve?

The biggest issue against this is that most players don't support it and many burners don't support it.

A compeling reason to support it is what I am interested in.

I happen to have a burner that supports CD Text
(Yamaha 2100SZ) and my car Alpine CDA-W550 supports
CD Text. All Audio CDs I create I want to have
CD Text on. If my audio CD mastering program
does not support CD Text, I will not use it to
create Audio CDs. I am using Nero v5.5 but it
does not give me complete control over the
creation of the Audio CD like fading. I also
like to listen to all of the extracted audio before
I burn the CD. Nero does not have good preview tools
like pausing (pretty basic stuff here) without
putting the wav files in the editor.

I understand that it would be nice,but it is a feature that is not a huge demand because _most_ hardware doesn't support it.

While it may seem like a simple feature to add, it is never as easy as it sounds.

If CD-TEXT were ubiquitous then I could see the need for the support ASAP. I see it as a luxury item that most would not have use for.

I am not saying that it will or will not happen, but that considering the other demands on our products, it is just lower down on the list of priorities.

Howdy Peter,

I archive my stuff to audio CD when appropriate (often it isn't, sometimes it is) and in those sometimes scenarios I and others later open the CD in a computer-based music player to review. Musicmatch Jukebox or WMPlayer, what have you. It's just a nice thing to have the track names listed without resorting to the jewel case insert.

Considering you can name your tracks on the timeline, I was quite surprised there was no simple way to write them out with the audio.

I think it really is such a little thnig for the SF programs to have CD-text... Alot of CD burning programs have it, and I notice ALOT of new CD players using it, actually.
