Bonjour,

Where can I write metadatas when I create an audio CD?

I recorded songs from a tape recorder using audacity.

I split the track into several tracks using Ctrl-b and I wrote the title
for every song

I saved the project

I exported it using export multiple function

I got as many .wav files as separated tracks

I used K3B to burn an audio CD writing the title of the CD and the name
of the artist and for every song the tittle


But, in spite of all this hard work, when I read the CD: no title, no
author name and song titles appear anywhere. I just get on my computer:
"audio CD" and in a CD drive, "track 1", "track 2",....

I have no idea of what I can do else!

Thanks for helping.

F.P.

I use:

Linux fedora 10

Audacity 1.3.7

K3B   1.0.5

You're referring to "CD-TEXT." Your CD burning program must support it in order for the information to be stored on the disk, and your CD player must support it to read the information from the disk. Not many players do. A quick check makes it look like K3B will write CD-TEXT to an audio disk. I can't tell from your message what program you're playing your audio CD with, but I'll guess that that's where the failure is. In any case, it's not an Audacity issue. Here's an essay about CD-TEXT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-Text

[Audacity-users] converting WAV into WAV DTS From: Bernard <bdebreil@te...> - 2011-05-25 18:03 Hi to Everyone, Last year, I have digitized a number of old vinyl records using "OSSREC", that yielded wav files, which I edited with audacity so as to remove clipping. The sampling was done in 96,000Hz - 32-bit float. So far, I haven't found any convenient way of playing back those files other than using my PC and either "OSSPLAY" or "AUDACITY". Downgrading those audio files into PCM standard did not give very good results. Wishing to be able to play these wav files with current audio systems, I just purchased a DVICO TVX mediaplayer M-6631N, which was supposed to play wav files. But it refuses to play my files ! It does only play those of my wav files that have been downgraded to PCM ! Searching a bit deeper into the docs available for the mediaplayer M-6631N, I did find that it supported (only ?) WAV DTS ! Would anyone here know whether it is possible to convert 96,000 Hz - 32-bit float wav files into a suitable lossless WAV-DTS format without having to resample and downgrade ? If requested, I could propose a 2-3 min sample for downloading in my web page. Thanks in advance for any hint, Bernard

Not sure what you mean by "PCM standard". If you really mean redbook or CD-quality format, I'd be curious about how you converted your files. The audible difference between 96kHz/32-bit and 44.1kHz/16-bit is not all that great. If your conversion made the files unlistenable, I'd say something went very wrong.

Then, if you listen next the 96kHz/32-bit file, you find it significantly better, and, last of all, when you listen to the old vinyl, it is better yet. I would have hard time to describe the difference in written words. I would say that sounds are more detailled, more distinct from one another in 96kHz/32-bit than in 44.1/16. The files were converted using 'audacity 1.3.5 beta' under Debian Lenny. I have used the "normalizing" process with good quality dithering, but I first tested other options ; since it was done last year, I can't remember all of the details.

Re: [Audacity-users] converting WAV into WAV DTS From: Dave <dmc43959@bi...> - 2011-05-28 15:02 Hi the only PCM Standard that I know is .wav which for Microsoft 41000 to be play back on any device. If you stay with 96kHz/32-bit file you are limiting yourself to very few players other than the machine you create them on , it would be better to pick the right dither and convert to 24bit/16bit 41000 I have been told that triangle is a good compromise .
