CD-Text Usage (to copy CD-Text from master CD):
cdda2wav -D 6,0 -vall -B # To extract audio information
cdrecord dev=6,0 -vv -toc # To extract CD-Text information
and then
cdrecord dev=6,0 -v -dao textfile=cdtext.dat -useinfo *.wav
or
cdrecord dev=6,0 -v -raw96r textfile=cdtext.dat -useinfo *.wav
If the CD-Text information contains more CRC errors than
cdrecord can correct, you need to reload the CD and to
re-read the CD-Text information from the master disk.
Writing of CD-Text is supported for all drives that support
CD-Text in SAO write mode and for all drives that support
to write in RAW/RAW96R mode (use -raw96r in this case).
NOTE: not all writers that support MMC SAO mode support
to write CD-Text in this write mode.
If you have a drive that does not support CD-Text
but supports RAW/RAW96R mode use this mode as
in RAW/RAW96R mode the drive does not need to know
about CD-Text. This way even old drives like the
Plextor PX-R 412C will write CD-Text.
NOTE that cdda2wav will read CD-Text and fill in the
CD-Text fields in the *.inf files if vou use -vall.
The new cdda2wav option cddb= allows you to tell cdda2wav to
retrieve CDDB information from freedb.freedb.org.
cddb=0 means ask if ambiguous, cddb=1 means take first entry.
The information in this case is filled into the fields
in the *.inf files.
Creating a CD with CD-Text based on CDDB information from freedb.freedb.org:
Tell cdda2wav to fetch data from freedb.freedb.org, call
cdda2wav -D 6,0 -vall -B cddb=1 # To extract audio information/fetch CDDB data
and then call
cdrecord dev=6,0 -v -dao -text -useinfo *.wav
or
cdrecord dev=6,0 -v -raw96r -text -useinfo *.wav
If you like to create your own CD-text data for a CD use the
following method:
First extract all tracks with cdda2wav -vall (see above),
then edit the *.inf Files and add album and song titles.
Now call cdrecord as if the *.inf files contain CD-Text
information.
Note that it is recommended to use less that 160 characters
for a single string.
