  • Mysteries of CD Text Explained
    Summit Sound Inc. - Mysteries of CD Text explained: There are 2 types of “CD text”information currently in common usage: 1. CD Text : Actual CD Text is an extension of the Red Book Compact Disc specifications standard for audio CDs. It allows for storage of additional information (e.g. album name, song name, and artist) on a standards-compliant audio CD. The information is stored either in the lead- in area of the CD, where there is roughly five kilobytes of space available, or in the Subchannels R to W on the disc, which can store about 31 megabytes. These areas are not used by strict Red Book CDs. The text is stored in a format usable by the Interactive Text Trans - mission System (ITTS). ITTS is also used by Digital Audio Broadcasting or the MiniDisc. The specification was released in September 1996 and backed by Sony. Support for CD-Text is common, but not universal. Utilities or plug-ins exist to automatically rip CD-Text data, and insert it into CDDB or freedb. • Windows Media Player 10 and 11 with the WMPCDText plug-in support reading CD-Text. • iTunes 7 supports burning with CD Text.

  • What Exactly Is CD Text?
    Getting A Handle on CD Text CD MANUFACTURING, CD DUPLICATION In the past year there has been a noticeable increase in audio clients who are creating their own Master CDs. While it seems most of the audio clients have an understanding of what CD Text is, there is still a lot of confusion about how to create CD Text and where you can view it. This article was written to clear up some of the confusion. What exactly is CD Text? CD Text is a technology that is used on audio CDs which enables low bit rate information such as the song name and the name of the artist to be stored on the within the disc itself. If CD Text is included on an audio CD, specific devices and applications that are able to read and display this information will recognize this information, retrieve it and, in turn, display it to the user. Is CD Text visible on all players and programs? No - and this happens to cause a great deal of confusion and worry for clients because the client often thinks there is something wrong with their CDs because the CD Text isn't being displayed. A notorious culprit is Windows Media Player - while it is one of the most commonly used computer programs for playing music, it doesn't display CD Text unless you install a plug-in. Creating CD Text It's actually quite simple to create your audio Master for CD duplication or CD replication, but you need to be using a disc burning program (such as Toast or Nero) that allows you to enter in the appropriate data.

  • Sony Corporation of America to Acquire Gracenote Acquisition Bolsters Portfolio of Content, Technology and Service Groups Focused on Accelerating Digital Commerce
    SONY CORPORATION OF AMERICA TO ACQUIRE GRACENOTE ACQUISITION BOLSTERS PORTFOLIO OF CONTENT, TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICE GROUPS FOCUSED ON ACCELERATING DIGITAL COMMERCE April 22, 2008 – New York, NY – Sony Corporation of America (SCA) announced today that it has signed a merger agreement with Gracenote, Inc. Sony will pay approximately $260 million plus other contingent consideration. “Gracenote is a global leader in technology and services for digital media identification, enrichment, and recommendation, and these capabilities will be essential to the next wave of innovation in content, services, and consumer electronics,” said Tim Schaaff, SCA Senior Vice President, Software. “Sony sees tremendous growth potential in developing Gracenote as a separately run business unit, and by broadly embracing Gracenote’s platforms, Sony expects to significantly enhance and accelerate its own digital content, service, and device initiatives.” “We are very pleased to join Sony as its strategic vision is very much in line with our own,” said Craig Palmer, Gracenote CEO. “Having a closer connection with the content and digital services community will accelerate adoption of Gracenote technologies, and the relationship will also give us the resources necessary to rapidly expand development of next generation products for the industry.” Gracenote’s existing business will continue to operate separately. As a wholly owned Sony subsidiary, Gracenote will continue to develop new technologies in existing as well as new areas of operation. The senior management team will remain with the company. Sony and Gracenote anticipate that the transaction will close in late May, subject to certain regulatory and other approvals. About Gracenote Gracenote is a global leader in embedded technology, enriched content, and data services for digital entertainment solutions within the Internet, consumer electronics, mobile, and automotive markets.

  • Kitchen Mastering ​—​ Cd Text & Metadata
    KITCHEN MASTERING — CD TEXT & METADATA ​ ​ A common question we (and other mastering facilities) receive is: ‘Why doesn’t the artist name and song titles come up in my ​ media player when I insert my new CD?” The answer to this lies in the difference between CD Text, CD registries, and metadata. Specifically: CD TEXT - A method for storing text information in the lead-in and data areas of a CD-DA disc. Data is either embedded into the ​ approximately 5kb lead-in portion of a disc or in subcode regions R through W of the data portion of a Red Book compatible disc. Typical data fields include information pertaining to the artist, album title, song title, composer, and songwriter. CD Text is typically read by hardware CD players (standalone, portable, and automotive). However, many CD players (including some computer disc drives) can not read the subcode regions R-W and therefore can not read the CD Text. CD DATABASE - There are multiple CD databases that operate via internet connection to identify physical media inserted into a ​ disc drive on a computer. Most of these databases do not read the CD text but in fact read the total number of CD frames on a disc (there are 75 frames per second), the total number of tracks, and the total number of frames per track to determine any particular disc inserted into a computer hard drive. This is why, sometimes, when you insert a particular disc into a hard-drive, that a CD Database may prompt you to select from multiple options for which disc you just inserted.
