Will My Song Titles Show When I Play My Cd in a Computer?
I am reposting this item as we are asked about this so often, and this article gives you the information and links you need to be fully informed.
Computers use an online database to display CD information, the most common one is known as Gracenote, a more detailed article on Gracenote can be found here Gracenote CD Database and CD-TEXT.
Tunes and Windows Media Player DO NOT read and CD-Text embedded on the actual CD, at all! This is common for all computer CD player software.
When the CD information is displayed on a computer, the info is coming from an online database. The database is usually Gracenote (the more common) or AllMusic.
The Gracenote database serves CD information to: iTunes, WinAmp, Quintessential Media Player, and Finder (Mac OS). The AllMusic database serves CD information to: Windows Media Player, Rhapsody, and Real Music Player.
Registration on these databases must be completed by you, the client, rather than us as no extra information is added to the CD for them to work.
You can find further information on how to submit your CD on the below links.

The debates about Duplication & Replication have been ongoing for years.
The years and technological developments have also now changed how both of these services are viewed and used.
Just to let you know that we offer both services, and generally speaking our Duplication Service is mostly used for runs from
1-500 and then after that we would generally recommend replication, as long as your deadline allows .
Here is a link to our replication website and if you are interested in chatting about which service is most suitable for your project please give me a call on 01702 530354, i’ll be happy to listen to your requirements and then give you the best advice.
