If you burn a CD with itunes, the next time you stick that CD in, the name of the CD shows up as the name of the playlist that it was burned from. Fine. The name of the tracks, however, are also present. How does it do this? Is it cd text? Is it some other kind of metadata that iTunes embeds on the CD? A quick google of “itunes cd text” doesn’t yield much. Does anyone know how this works?
I originally ran into this through an experiment. I wanted to know if ripping a CD using lossless, then burning the tracks out in the same order results in the same CD, which when looked up in CDDB results in the same track names. But it doesn’t even seem to be doing a CDDB lookup the second time around…
