you waited a whole 20 mins before you bumped this!  mr patient 

i'm guessing you shouldn't have a problem, the track name comes up on the screen from my ipod, as does songs from cd's that i've put onto the ipod.  there is no reason why if you burned songs from itunes to a cd the name shouldn't appear.

Isn't there?  Does the track as burned to a CD retain the associated text, even though there would be no such text if you had bought the item as a CD?

Tell you what - try it and see!

dunno! i assumed the text was part of the file?  i just gave my opinion, i'm not always right!

[Rolfe]

The text isn't there if you buy the CD.  If you load an actual CD to an iPod using your computer, iTunes will find the textual information that matches it from its own resources, and add that in.  If you copy a CD without having an internet connection, all you'll get is "track 1" "track 2" and so on.

iTunes however does incorporate that information in the file.  So, it's probable that if you then burn that file, or a file bought from the iStore which will also have the same information, to another CD, the information will be retained.  The question is, will it be read by the CD player in the same way it will be read by your iPod?  That's what I don't know.

Try it.

I took some songs off the interent and onto an SD card. All the song info came up fine

One small issue though. Since some were off albums, the rcd510 sorts the playlist alphabetically, which means that all the 1s are together, all the 2s etc etc.

You didn't notice my rant about that in the thread about iPods and the RCD 310?

I can do it all again from memory if you like!

Why not use WMP which which get both the artist name and track info for you from the net... even is the CD does not have it.


Apple and their ipod crap pffft
