There's got to be at least one application available to Mac OSX users that will burn CD Text data in to the CD... or am I crazy to think that?

TOAST and TOAST w/JAM from Roxio.com will burn just about anything. And it works with OSX.

You can also use Disk Copy found in the OSX utilities folder.

My firewire burner came with toast, before I got the OSX version I could burn files from the finder file menu.

System Preferences/CD's&DVD's, there you can enable Disk Copy as the app that opens when a blank disk is inserted.

I think you guys are missing the point of the post... he was asking if there was an app that would burn the text data to a CD as well as the audio correct? I really don't think there is any commercial software that will create an "audio" format CD with the text data saved and I think CD players that read this info are far and few as well. I may be wrong though.

You're talking about Red Book Audio, Jam, or Masterlist will allow the input PQ subcodes, and edit index points.

Thanks guys. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your insight.

Unfortunately, setting up a computer-based recording system is more difficult and more expensive to do that I thought. I'm going to return the 828, forget Emagic, and get a TASCAM CD-RW402 instead.

I'll record directly to a CD-RW.. then edit and split up into separate tracks, add CD-Text via the included keyboard, and then dump to a CD-R. It's not as cool as doing on my Mac, but... hopefully less painful from a ramp-up persepctive.

Cheers guys!

I hope i didn't misunderstand the whole thing, but Toast, from the 5.2 release, supports CD-Text, if you have the proper cd-burner. I don't know of any other graphical app supporting cd-text under OS X; maybe a port from cdrecord under linux/bsd, command-lined?

Bye.
