I put in all the appropriate data for CD text and all, when I burn the cd it’s picking up text that I never inputted. Album and song tittles all wrong, anyone have ant ideas? Does Wavelab cache this? If so how do you fix it? Thanks.
Where are you seeing this incorrect info?
if it’s from a consumer media player it’s probably because there is a CD with the same track number and track times in Gracenote Database.
Most consumer media players do not natively read CD-Text and rely on a database instead.
I had a similar report a few days ago. This could be caused by the online CD database being broken (this is independent from WaveLab.)
This has nothing to do with CD text.
Oh wow, never thought of that. It made no sense, so do you think the data was written to the cd, but when it accesses the database then it picks the wrong data/. Not sure how that all works
I use TagScanner to check the metadata. It works locally and online with different database.
One way and good is to read back your CD and Import with CD-Text
into WaveLab to check…

This does not work like this at all. No metadata is written to the CD.
Only CD text. And the online database does not read CD text.
The database recognizes a CD by generating a unique identifier (disc ID) based on the number of tracks and the exact length of each track as found in the disc’s table of contents (TOC).
This is never a 100% reliable process. This means that two totally different CDs could have the same ID.
Try creating a DDP and check the DDP in a DDP Player.
Check the CD in a car that can display CD-Text but is not internet connected.
Use WaveLab to inspect the CD-Text on the disc itself.
