Default Why is CD text not showing?

What's funny is when I burn an MP3 CD, the title and artist shows, BUT when I burn a CD using AIFF (basic CD audio mode), it doesn't show the title and artist, I've tried using itunes and Toast and nothing. It's disappointing to hear my music but still see "no title" on the screen.
On another note how much is it to install XM radio and the monthly fees?
Thanks Everyone!

If you use Nero Burining rom, before you burn to disc, you can add the text for each song (artist, title etc.) Then it will show up. That is what I use and it works perfectly.

You can also use sonic, I burned one the other day with this program and it also worked. Just remember to add the text to each track before you burn to disc. Also, you can give your disc an album name which will also show up.

On your sterioyYou can puch text once, and it will show the disc name, push text gain and it will show the track name.

Hi guys,

Just checking and if you want to use I-tunes, I belive that you can do it also. Just go to Edit, then Preferences. Then click on the Advanced tab, and then click on the burning sub-tab. Then you can check the option Include CD Text. I belive this will also add the text to your cd's, but I have not tried it yet. If anyone has tried it, maybe they can post whether or not it works.

Also if you purchase a retail CD that has the CD Extra logo it will show up.

We asked our dealer about this. He said that feature is designed solely for special “books on disk” CD’s that play mostly voice-text, and will not work with normal music CD’s.
