yeah I think out of about 400 pressed CDs I've only had about 10 with the track titles on.  (some of the Columbia masters series for example)

Just popped Decades into Audiograbber and it appears to be logged in Freedb, and in Mp3tag the cover art appears on amazon.com and discogs , but neither show the track titles. smile

Actually CD-Text is what I'm talking about. Looks like it's more universal than I thought though, in the sense that it's a readily usable extension to the Red Book standard, enjoying limited native hardware or software support, leaving it arcane enough that it's almost never used. Unless you drive an Opel apparently.

I still don't know what you are talking about! I burn CDs all the time and all the metadata shows up in my Honda Fit, as well as on my Sony stereo system, thanks to CD Text. On the other hand, most CDs are tagged when we put them in our computers by comparing the track lengths with a remote database like Gracenote or Freebase, which is sadly much more reliable than hoping anything like CD Text is put to good use. For a new, indie release like Decades, there usually isn't an entry in these databases... for shame, really.

Yeah sorry about the metadata guys.  Amazon do all the duplication themselves so apart from uploading the assets I don't have any control over that area.

In the meantime, the secret track is revealed.  Enjoy. smile

Probably, the CDs seem to be made by amazon, I would guess it wasn't on purpose though

Just annoying though because the CD didn't have the ID3 tags or album art embedded.

Ditto... I'm guessing this was Amazon's fault?

My CD just arrived in the mail today, awesome! Just annoying thought because the CD didn't have the ID3 tags or album art embedded. But the music is still just as awesome.
