Bob Littl #1 / 3	MMControl CDAudio Hi folks, How does one go about reading track names (song titles) and other info from an audio CD? I have been using MMControl, and can read and decipher track lengths, but so far I have not discovered how to read track names. Does this info even exist on the CD? Where should I look for more info? Thanks Bob

It exists on special CDs called CDText. These discs are easily identifiable by the word "Text" under the normal Compact Disc Digital Audio logo. How you would read the information, I have no idea.

I don't know for sure where to find info on CDText, but I'd start by just seaching on the Net using search words like "CDText", "specification", "programming", etc. You might want to look into Gracenote/CDDB. They offer licensing options enabling you to download CD information from their database. If your program is for personal use only (IOW, you make no profit at all from it), I believe the licensing is free. http://www.cddb.com/developer/ Mike

Nikott #3 / 3	MMControl CDAudio hardly any cd-player supports cd-text, only the newest one... and i never had a cd with cd-text (except the ones i burned myselve) cddb.com would be a good idea, but as far as i know it isn't free (anymore) try www.freedb.com, it is compatible to cddb, but it is free! i never did anything with that, but i think it is a simple http-request you have to do... mfg nikotto MikeD schrieb: Quote: >>Hi folks, >>How does one go about reading track names (song titles) and other info > from >>an audio CD?
