Thank you for your response TwoJ - finally someone who seems to understand.... I understand that Id3 tags and CD Text are different. I have mastered ID3 tags both v1 and v2. Using Tag and Rename 2.0.5 I have been able to correct my ID3 tags perfectly by mass copying the file name info into the tag info. I have researched CD Text enough to know that my CD Burner supports CD Text ( Its a BTC CDWriter IDE1610) and that my Head Unit supports CD Text also (Its a Sony MP-70). My problem is that I don't know how to burn CD Text so that the Sony will read it. I read that I could place CD Text in the R-W sub codes in the program area using the ITTS format and the capacity there would be roughly 31 Mb which shoud be more that enough to hold text information for 142 MP3s. What I need to know is how do burn CD Text (heard I could do it with Nero and Feurio) and do I need to remove the tag info from my MP3s to make it all work? Above and beyond all this, your final comment sums it up - "Once you put a new MP3 CD in, the player should read the new tracks and should display the new ID3 tags" --- but it doesn't. My Sony MP-70 continues to show the tags from the first MP3 CD that was put in even though I take out and put back in other MP3 CDs numerous times. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone think that burning an MP3 CD with CD Text could possibly solve this problem? Or is this a flaw in Sony's design never to be fixed only to be worked around by hitting the reset button every stupid time........ CDTEXT can only be used in Audio CDs not in MP3 discs.
