Mine still doesn’t work… and I always have add cd text ticked in my preferences. It’s never ever worked… any advice?

THIS DOES NOT WORK!!!

I have been burning from my iTunes library to a CD, and although I have checked the Include CD Text option, the CD just list the songs as track1, track2, etc.

I’ve just nicely started using iTunes version 8; however, in attempting to burn a playlist with tracks that have a full complement of information, the “Include CD Text” box is faded – meaning that I can see it but just can’t check it. Not sure if I’ve overlooked something pretty basic or if I’ve encountered a glitch. Anyone?

to be honest you don’t have to manually browse your itunes folder to get the songs in toast.

what i used to do is highlight the songs in itunes, whether it be an entire playlist or a chunk of the library, and just drag that selection into the toast window.

you can also use the same technique to copy certain songs, for example, to a usb stick.

Yes, I am glad you posted this. I’m happy for the people who already noticed this. However I searched for “itunes 8 “cd text”" and I found this post, exactly what I was looking for. I never noticed this was previously available.

Sorry for the mixup guys, I didn’t realize this was a feature of iTunes 7, but it’s probably a good thing to point out anyway…

Ah, glad you guys are on the ball. I’ll see if Jake will fix this up a little bit…

Maybe you might want to update this post to say “I’m sorry I did not notice this before!”

CD Text has been there for some time now. This is not a new feature of iTunes 8.

Yeah, I have not even upgraded to iTunes 8 yet, and I have been doing CD-TEXT through at least all of version 7.

Probably should have checked that before writing a whole post on it.

This feature has been around for a while, and was really pushed in iTunes 7.

I’m pretty sure I saw this option in an older version of iTunes.

I don’t think that this is a new feature. I’m currently using iTunes version 7.6.2 and this option is present. I’m not sure with which version this was added but I recall using it for quite a while now. It’s good to see this pointed out, though. Not many people are aware it’s there.
