hey, i was wanting to display the cd track title name so i set up cd-text within the burning program. but for some reason, its not reading anything after track 12 of 19. what program[s] are you guys using to accomplish this? TIA. i am planning on reburing it at a lower speed to see if that does anything.

 

I am trying to play around with Lightscribe and their accompanying cds. I'll let you know how it works afterward!

 

I just grabbed the keys, ran out to the garage, no go!

When I create the cd, it even asks me if I want to name the tracks and artists. I did the step by step thing and it isn't working!

Come to think of it, store bought cds aren't reading the labels either!

 

I use nero and have never had a problem.

 

same here

Since we are talking about it, is there any way to get the words to scroll across cause on mine it just shows what ever fits and cuts off the rest? I dont have navi

 

third that, i use nero works perfectly fine for me

 

do you have to burn it at a certain speed or whatever?

 

nope didnt have to burn it any speed.

 

No auto scroll that I'm aware, even with XM. (Though I think Sirus does). You can turn the right *** and it'll show more of the title. But I think it cuts off after a certain amount of characters. I'll monkey around with it some tomorrow.

 

The speed is only for your Computer and the disk your burning on. Really has nothing to do with the car reading it. Download a trial version of Nero and let us know how it works for you; http://ww2.nero.com/enu/Downloads.html

 

Is it possible to get the text for the tracks for 6th genners w/o Navi?

I know if push in the **** it goes through options, and display track (something similar to that) is one of them..hope you can help.

 

Track text (and album name text) can appear on the non-navi display too (in the '07). By pushing the [CLOCK/DISP] button while a disc is playing, you can scroll through the choices to display the album name or track title. It appears on the second text line of the display. You have to clear out the MPG display to have it appear.

There are select few discs out there (store-bought) that come with CD Text. I have only a couple in my large collection. The feature was adopted by Sony for awhile back around 2000 or so, so many Columbia or Sony labeled discs from that era have the potential to have the CD text feature.

Home-made CD's depending on software can add the CD text onto your discs, as well as mp3 discs, and those work with the Max's display feature too.

I have used IBM's RecordNow (came with the PC) and the llabels on home made CDs work fine.

There is no auto scrolling option I ever found.

HGN2001's post covered the features available pretty clearly

 

I have an 05 Max without nav and my cd text works fine. It displays the name of the artist/title on fm radio stations too. I use nero as well and have never had a problem before. When you burn an mp3 to an audio disc...cd text does not come from the burning program, its actually embedded in the mp3. So if the mp3 does not have cd text embedded it might display the file name or none at all depending on what the burning program recognizes as cd text. Just be sure when you use nero you like the name under track, because this is the text that will be displayed. If you do not like it you can double click on each track and change the artist and track title to your liking. And finally make sure you check the box that enables you to write text onto the cd.

I dont believe there is an autoscroll feature, but like someone said uptop you can scroll through the complete title, by turning the ****.

 

Does any of the Newer Maxima have OEM mp3 players?

 

Not many (store bought) CDs have labels included. I've never had a problem with any of the CD's I've made, if you have decent burning software it should rip the track / title info from the mp3 and label accordingly on the CD.

 

I had the same issue. Use Windows media player and select Himat when you burn

 

I have 07 Max, the OEM Navi/6 disc mp3 player I have used mp3, wma, and basic audio CDs... all of which display the text of each track properly.

i use Nero Ultra v7 to burn all my Mp3/WMA/audio CDs
