Feurio Questions & Answers - Questions on CD-TEXT:
WinOnCd shows CD-Text - but Feurio! doesn't?


Question: WinOnCD shows that a (pressed) CD contains CD-Text. If I read in the same CD in Feurio!, no CD-TEXT is shown; is this a mistake in Feurio!?

Answer: No. WinOnCD "cheats" a bit here: WinOnCD has got an internal database with CD titles (similar to the CDDB database). If WinOnCD finds the CD in its internal database, then WinOnCD displays the data from the database - it then looks as if there were CD-TEXT on the CD - unfortunately as far as I know you can NOT tell whether the data shown is CD-TEXT data OR taken from the database.
COMMENT: However it is also possible that the Feurio! has not recognized the CD-ROM used as being CD-TEXT capable. In this case you can activate reading CD-TEXT information in the Feurio! CD-Manager by selecting the entry "Program parameters" in the menu: "Program", here select the respective CD-ROM in the index card "Device parameters", click on "Special parameters" and here select the index card "Special parameters" and in this index card activate the switch "Read CD-Text information".

Question: I burned a CD on a recorder with WinOnCD, which according to Feurio! is not CD-Text capable. If I now insert the burned CD and start WinOnCD, WinOnCD shows CD-Text information, is the writer CD-TEXT capable after all?

Answer: No. WinOnCD saves the data in a database and when the CD is inserted again, it shows the data from the database - it then looks like there is CD-text on the CD - unfortunately as far as I know you can NOT tell whether the data shown is CD-TEXT data or whether it is from the database.
