I assume you are burning the tunes to an audio CD. There is no way. Audio tracks are supposed to be track 1, track 2 ect. You will need to change the format of the CD before you do anything different. Will your player play an mp3 CD?

Did did not tell me anything useful in your last post. I suspect you were not accurate either.

You know that files are wave files because they have .wav as an extension, right? Many persons like to call anything lossless wave files which is wrong. Are you editing them or trans-coding them? Usually when you edit you are changing the sound. Trans-coding keeps the sound but changes the format.

If you put the mp3 on your CD they shouldn't be track 1,2,3... should they? They would be the mp3s unless your mp3s are track 1,2,3. If that is the case and you are complaining about the names, change them.

My suggestion is try Media Monkey. I am still not sure what you are doing or what your problem is but that audio manager has a straight forward and powerful burning routine. You just might figure it out by yourself.

I use Free Rip to rip and Nero to burn and have had no problem with track titles getting lost. I am very picky about the titles being there. Makes it nice to see what's on the disc.

Right here. To change the output path just look at the bottom tabs and you can specify the output folder for saving your music to.
To change the name before ripping, just click on the title twice or once .

So benbernie, you didn't like Media Monkey??? It is a far better burner than Nero and on a very short list for top rippers. I would place it at third best ripper and Nero maybe 10th best burner app. Ripping is not at all straight forward. For that I use dbPowerAmp rated #1 but that is not free. EAC is the best free ripper then I suspect Media Monkey is third.

Why use crap?

Maybe you were doing something wrong.

What is the CD? Note that audio CDs do not have any of that info on the disk. That has to be gotten over the internet from a bit of text on the CD. If it is a rare CD it probably is not in a free database. That is a good reason to pay the money and use a high end ripper like dbPowerAmp. It uses a paid for database that is very complete. I have a good deal of old and rare CDs it is very unusual not to get the info. It is just as unusual for FreeDB to have the info. I will say every year FreeDB gets better. The disk I just ripped was very rare and and the tracks have the metadata (titles etc). Media Monkey and EAC use FreeDB. The only CD that I can recall not getting info with my ripper was an old BB King CD. The CD lacked the text that has the album name and date like most CDs and there wasn't a title or any text on the CD. Only a picture of a swamp. I am sure if I could have remembered the title I would have gotten that info.

As you can guess, there is no metadata to save. It was lost when you burned the audio CD. No ripper in the word can retrieve information that is not there.

Burn your home-brew CD's with CD-Text..Also your LP/78 files may just be recognized by freedb,Gracenote etc using for instance MM..There's also Winamp, foobar2k to name a few..
You could also try mp3tag and search by title and or album for similar tracks, and apply Metadata(tag info)..

k00ka is right there are somethings you might try but it would be easier to just enter the information your self. There are fingerprinting techniques used to identify single tracks for the three top audio players/managers but you have a better chance getting a hit if the track is less rare. If yours are vinyl rips especially 78s I am not so sure you will find a match.

k00ka, I do not think there was ever any metadata added to the audio. I am guessing benbernie was hoping to save time and effort by not having to type the info for vinyl captures.

It is typical to capture vinyl as lossless, clean it up if you care to. I do not. Add the metadata using a tag editor then burn it to an audio CD but use the option to save the metadata as text as k00ka suggested. Note it must be there to get it saved the process is not magic. Then you can do what ever with your lossless files because to have a lossless backup. Vinyl capture is a pain so I always make a lossless archive. Now disk space is so cheap you don't need to burn CDs to archive unless you want to.
I save as highly compressed lossless which is totally different than highly compressed lossy.
