The Audio CD project offers you the ability to input CD Text, add pre-gaps, and enter UPC and ISRC identifiers.

What is CD Text?
You can store song information directly on the discs you burn so it is always displayed correctly. This text is stored in a special location and is called CD Text. Some disc drives will even display CD Text about each song as it is played.

What is a pre-gap?
A pre-gap is the period of silence that usually separates songs on a disc.

What is ISRC?
ISRC stands for International Standard Recording Code. This 12-digit code is used for identifying individual audio tracks to help ensure the proper payment of royalties.

What is UPC?
UPC stands for Universal Product Code. This unique number is usually found near the product bar code. One of its uses is to track the sales of commercial audio CDs.

• Track titles can be edited directly in the project window by single-clicking twice on a track title. Type the new track title and press the Enter key.
• You can enter audio properties for several tracks at once. Select more than one track in the project window and click on the CD Properties button. Any changes you make in the Edit CD Properties window will affect all of the selected tracks.
• If the Edit CD Properties window is opened when more than one track is selected, some settings may display the phrase Multiple Values. This means at least two of the selected tracks have different values for the same setting. Click on a Multiple Values entry only if you wish to enter a new setting for all the selected tracks.
