i havnen't tried to rename tracks via the properties, but a lot of times, actually all the time... when i right click on the file, and change the name, then try to burn the cd none of the names apear correctly in nero. nor does it appear properly when display the info on my cd player.

so what i do is use nero to burn my cd's and i do all the naming stuff there. no probs doing it that way.

What you need to do is use a CD burning program (like Nero) that supports the CD-TEXT standard. Usually you just have to enable it in your burning program. That's for audio CD's of course, not MP3 data CD's.

When you burn in Nero, before you even start adding tracks, in the general properties, there are fields for "album name", "artist", etc....you need to type it in there.

That is such a waste of time, there has to be a better way. I've spent hours organizing tracks exactly the way I like them and now I have to do it again?

No you shouldn't have to do that!

Nero should read the track names (I assume they are MP3's?) from the ID3 tags.

Try iTunes 7.0 as well. It supports CD-TEXT and you just burn your playlist.

I don't understand what takes so long?

He's thinking you have to type the track names and artist in every time... which yes, would suck.

wait a second, are we talking about mp3 data CDs? or audio CDs? I might have been talking about the wrong thing...I was talking about audio CDs, where having "album" stored on the CD is pretty much useless anyway.

eh i haven't been on lately so i hadn't a chance to read this thread, but for some reason i noticed that when i'd burn with nero i had that problem (even thought i had all the id3 tag's filled in), when i burned it with the software that came with my soundcard, it worked fine... no idea why this would happen but i'm just using the creative software instead

you need to use a burner app that supports it, and it should take everything from the id3 tags. simple once it's all setup!

bleh.
i just type my cd tracklist in a word document, print, cut to size and pop in my cd bag.

speaking of which ..

where the hell is my cd bag. ??
