What is CD Text? Just bought a burner...

[AbercrombieGuy]

What exactly is CD Text and how can I use it (I'm using Adaptec)? I Just bought a Sony CRX140E (8x4x32x) burner. Thanks in advance.

It displays track names on players that support it, not just the numbers you normally see..

related: anyone know of a PORTABLE cd player that reads CDRs well and supports CD TEXT?

*dream*

The "AND" is a deal breaker, but Philips makes a Discman-type player that reads CD-RWs and the factory stereo in my Explorer does too.

Unfortunately, MANY portable CDs read CDRs, but I have yet to find one with CDTEXT... hmm..

Subhuman: Sony's high end portable, D-EJ01, supports cdtext on the remote. However, it retails for $350. I think some of their other upper end models support cdtext as well.
