Audio CD questions 4439

Thanks for the response Dave, but after spending quite a few hours tinkering I'm not having any success.

The 'cdrdao' software is supposed to allow including text data with the audio but after I've gone through the entire process, no player I've tried (xmms, gnome-cd, xine) displays anything but the track number in the playlist for the new CD. (They all seem to want to get the track info from a cddb database.) There's something different about the new CD because 'alsaplayer' crashes with it.

I've tried using 'cdrdao' with its "--with-cddb" option to copy a commercial audio CD so I'm sure the editing I've done to the TOC file for my CD is syntactically correct. But even with this commercial copy all I see is the info from the cddb database.

Is there other software you could recommend?

You mention looking at the track properties, but I'm unclear how to do this for a cda track. (xmms can show the info for .mp3 or .ogg files but nothing happens when I click on that menu option for the cda track.) And AFAIK a cda CD cannot be mounted.
