1 CD-Text Usage (to copy CD-Text from master CD):
3 icedax -D 6,0 -vall -B # To extract audio information
4 wodim dev=6,0 -vv -toc # To extract CD-Text information
8 wodim dev=6,0 -v -dao textfile=cdtext.dat -useinfo *.wav
10 wodim dev=6,0 -v -raw96r textfile=cdtext.dat -useinfo *.wav
12 If the CD-Text information contains more CRC errors than
13 wodim can correct, you need to reload the CD and to
14 re-read the CD-Text information from the master disk.
16 Writing of CD-Text is supported for all drives that support
17 CD-Text in SAO write mode and for all drives that support
18 to write in RAW/RAW96R mode (use -raw96r in this case).
20 NOTE: not all writers that support MMC SAO mode support
21 to write CD-Text in this write mode.
22 If you have a drive that does not support CD-Text
23 but supports RAW/RAW96R mode use this mode as
24 in RAW/RAW96R mode the drive does not need to know
25 about CD-Text. This way even old drives like the
26 Plextor PX-R 412C will write CD-Text.
28 NOTE that icedax will read CD-Text and fill in the
29 CD-Text fields in the *.inf files if vou use -vall.
31 The new icedax option cddb= allows you to tell icedax to
32 retrieve CDDB information from freedb.freedb.org.
33 cddb=0 means ask if ambiguous, cddb=1 means take first entry.
34 The information in this case is filled into the fields
37 Creating a CD with CD-Text based on CDDB information from freedb.freedb.org:
39 Tell icedax to fetch data from freedb.freedb.org, call
41 icedax -D 6,0 -vall -B cddb=1 # To extract audio information/fetch CDDB data
45 wodim dev=6,0 -v -dao -text -useinfo *.wav
47 wodim dev=6,0 -v -raw96r -text -useinfo *.wav
50 If you like to create your own CD-text data for a CD use the
53 First extract all tracks with icedax -vall (see above),
55 then edit the *.inf Files and add album and song titles.
57 Now call wodim as if the *.nf files contain CD-Text
60 Note that it is recommended to use less that 160 characters
