Track names on display??
Hello,
I happened to see a photo on the net that shows the song name appearing on the display of the computer in the car... the car was a W209 btw.. I have a standard CD player + Cd changer with MP3 playback in my W209... either way(with mp3 CDs or regular Audio CDs), I keep seeing Track XX on the display instead of the name of the song... Do I have to configure this from the Audio system in the car or should I do something else while burning the CD??
Thanks

All of the CDs I Burn using Real Player pull the song name and then display it on the CDs I have burned... The original CD that I used to copy the track from only displays "Track XX"
My best guess is that all of the CD/Song info is kept on the Original CD in certain "Fields" of the "Table of Contents". When I burn a CD, the "Track Name" field info is copied from the original field on the original CD, and written to a different, more commonly used field in the table of contents on the new CD.
My Guess is that the MB's Comand is looking for "Track Name" in a field that is not commonly used to store a Track Name, on Music CD's, not finding it & substituing "Track XX" as a stand-in. On the Home Made CDs it must recognize that we are inserting a "Data" type of CD, and is looking into the most commonly used field (by computers) to store the Track Name, and is able to see it and display it.
There IS a difference between Music, and Data CDs. Blank Music CDs have Music Royalties built into their price for distribution to Artists thru BMI/ASCAP, and Music CDs are encoded as such.
Why Comand is looking into the wrong field on a commercially available Music CD is a mystery, unless European Music CDs have Track Title stored in a different field than the US Music CDs.

hmmm.. that's wierd 
I don't have comand though... but I checked the confs. of the head unit but there isn't much to change... anyway, I will try to use different programs to burn, or different modes... I have "create mp3 cd"/"create WMA cd" in the nero options... may be such modes will have better results... thanks for the info...
