CDs burned with CD-text enabled do not include CD-text info on the burned CD.

Manual inspection of the .inf files created in the temporary directory show all the fields empty except those derived from the audio characteristics of the .wav file.

(In researching this I found a similar problem in Brasero which was due to using libburn which doesn't support CD-text.)

Hi, thanks for the report.

> CDs burned with CD-text enabled do not include CD-text info on the burned CD. How do you verify that the CD doesn't contain CD-Text? Is CD-text information shown in K3b when you choose "Device"->"Media Info" on the burned CD?

K3b creates binary CD-Text information which is then burned by cdrecord (using "textfile" optin). Cdrecord's manual (http://linux.die.net/man/1/cdrecord) says: "If both, textfile=filename and CD-Text information from *.inf or *.cue files are present, textfile=filename will overwrite the other information." so empty fields in *.inf files should not be the problem as they are overridden anyway.

K3b doesn't use libburn so this is not the reason.

I broke formatting in the first question:
> CDs burned with CD-text enabled do not include CD-text info on the burned CD.
How do you verify that the CD doesn't contain CD-Text? Is CD-text information shown in K3b when you choose "Device"->"Media Info" on the burned CD?

Hi, I've just seen this bug report and tried to verify it, but at least with version 1.69, CDText is written to audio CD's. It is working perfectly at least in my PC.
Comment 4 Michał Małek 2009-12-26 15:03:21 UTC
Hi, thanks for checking it. It works for me too, but maybe the bug occurs on some specific configuration or burn option.

I probably should have investigated more thoroughly before simply forwarding the old bug here.

I've retested with a fresh burn using my car's player (to avoid any software issues). CD-text did not work perfectly: the first track is "No Title", but the remaining tracks do appear to have the correct CD-text.

I suggest we close this bug in favor of a more accurate future report.

In an attempt to clean up old bugs that are not valid for K3b 2.0 (=KDE SC 4.x port) anymore, this is now being marked as UNMAINTAINED.
If this bug is still valid for 2.0, please reopen it.
