CD-Text

CD-Text is an extension of the Redbook Compact Disc specifications.

It was introduced in 1996.

It allows for storage of additional information (e.g. album name, song name, and artist) on an audio CD.

If you want to burn an audio CD with CDtext you have to find a burning program supporting CDtext.
An alternative is to burn a MP3 CD as a lot of today’s CD players support this format.

WMP doesn't support CD-text, it uses internet databases to find this type of information.

There is a plugin to enable WMP to read cd-text: WMPCDtext
