When I put my audio CD's into computer, it's always unknown album, unknown artist, etc. Is there a cross-reference list of where to enter this data, so it will show up for users ?
TIA . .

"CD text" has to be burnt in at the same time as the audio and can only be done in the "Disc-At-Once mode, S.Forge only burns "Track-at-once". Many audio CD players and some CD-Roms will not read it and some CD-R burners will not write it... the same with the burning software, some can, some cannot. CD-A won't... at least for now.
If that's what your asking.

Rather than CD-TEXT maybe he means the CDDB info displayed in things like Windows Media Player. Check Media Player help on how to enter this info in the online databse .

Yes, that's what I meant, and I believe you've just answered my question. IE, Media Player info is either obtained from the internet by the Media Player, or entered manually using Media Player. Last night I tried entering the name of each track in the CDArchitect Track List, and burned another CD. Media player still comes up Unknown Album, Unknown Artist, and defaults the Song Name to Track xx. I presume that entering info in an online database means you need to have purchased a bar-code number, is that right ?
Thnks,
