Interesting.

firmware.
Will let you know.

This is interesting info. Thanks a lot guys.

Plextor support says that the issue might be related to not using
recommended media. I have been using TDK CD-R rated up to 48X.

I think that the issue is with burned versus CD Player compatibility -
as
you are indicating.


Martino, I've been trying to find the answer to the same problem for a
while now. CDs burned on my NEC 1100A show CD-TEXT fine in my car's CD
system, but the Plextor 708A just won't do it. Frustrating...

Damn it -- Soon after I posted the last message, I burning two tracks
onto a CD with the Plextor and Nero and got CD_Text just
fine...grumble, grumble...

I tried 3 different ones: Nero, Roxio and what came with the Samsung CD-R -
Sonic RecordNow. Same result in every case.

Thanks anyhow.

Dude

are you reading my mail or are half on a pipe.

I wrote (in the original post) that CDs burned on Samsung CD-R/RW are
correctly displaying CD-TEXT on My Pioneer CD Player.

This CD Text is problem by itself. Most CD Players don't show it
even if
it
is burned on CD. Who knows, why...i guess standard for this is not
exactly
unique so burners sort it out differently...

Most CD players don't have text display for CD text.

I'm using the latest firmware, if that helps.

I have used only DCD for packet writing,

have had no problems due to the software

- but too many due to the format itself

to bother with it any longer.

The above Mikey's statement is the first ever case in which a Shill is

With a Shill like this, Roxio doesn't need any critics!

yes, but Feurio is the right one to try:

I guess that the problem is that your player can't read the CD-Text written
by the Plextor, but you have to make sure that CD-Text has been written to
the disc.

Did you check that the Plextor is able to read the CD-Text written by
itself?

I've been burning cd text for a few years and never had any prob with
any software or writer and player.

One thing - all the progs I used, Nero, Easy cd, Sony, etc throw up a
message saying you cannot write CD TEXT to a RW disc.

I have a Sony and Pioneer writer + a Sony and Pioneer player. It does
not matter which way round you use them

There is a free program that will read cd text if it exists on the cd,
It will also save the cd text to your windows cdini file. It is called
Cdex and can be found at

http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/

Maybe the plextor is faulty?

I tried Nero 6 and Roxio 6. Even though the burned CDs indicate CD-TEXT
when played on Plextor 708A (Nero 6 - Extras - Save Tracks), I don't see
CD-TEXT on my Pioneer CD-Player (Elite PD-F27).

I tried the same thing on a Samsung CD-R/RW and no problems; CD-TEXT is
visible on My Pioneer CD with no issues.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks.


One thing I forgot to mention before. My Pioneer player, previous
model to yours, does not show text in a certain play mode. You have to
press something on the remote a couple of times to turn it on
otherwise it just displays the disk number.

Hi Trenton.

I just wrote a couple of songs with CD-Text onto a CD-RW using Roxio
5, and it's displaying the text nicely on the HACP (free) software
player I use. (Like CDEX, it displays text properly if it's there)

My recorder is a BTC 1004IM. I suspect your inability to write text
to a CD-RW must be a limitation of the drive rather than the software.

This is interesting.

That's bizarre becayse I've written CD Text to CD-RW discs any times using
Easy CD and Nero. Maybe it's burner specific?

I'm using Win 2K sp2 and ESCD 4.04 / DirectCD 3.05

About every third time I write to the Pioneer CD-RW drive
via DirectCD I get a message saying there's been an
unrecoverable error. If I try to access the CD drive,
it hangs the OS.

If you're writing fixed-length packets (to an erasable),
you may have discovered as most others have that

the format is very fragile and unreliable.
==========================================

---------------------------
Wow! What a Friggin' ****!

( BTW, have you ever communicated with OSTA about what you call
the "faults" of fixed-length packet format?

Asking because you won't least a bit squeamish communicating with
Plextor and Andy McFadden, letting them know their supposed errant
ways -- and made that fact public! )
