What is CD-Text?

Answer

This question was answered on March 12, 2005. Much of the information contained herein may have changed since posting.

CD-Text is a extension of the existing audio CD standard that adds the ability to store text and graphical information like album titles, artist names, and song titles on a music CD. This information is stored in such a way that it doesn't interfere with the normal operation of any CD players or CDROM drives. There is quite a bit of confusion about the standard because there are two different parts of the CD where the data can be stored.
