2010 tsx with tech pkg. when playing CDs the track info does not show the song name for each track. bad Cd or operator error

 

I don't think any of my cd's show the track info, have you tried different cd's?

 

they just say the cd number and the track number, no song information as far as i know

 

CD track/title information is only shown if your CD is encoded with CD-Text info which, unfortunately, most are not. I have some CDs which display the info correctly, but about 90% of mine don't (of a few hundred CDs). Otherwise, you can make a copy of your CD and add the CD-Text info by ripping the tracks and re-burning them to a new disc with the associated track info (assuming your CD burner and authoring software support CD-Text, which most do).

 

^+1 That's why I listen to my memory stick via the USB port.

 

One things I don't understand is on my 2010 TSX Tech. It doesn't show the CD info but I take it to my friends 2009 TL and it shows all the CD Text. Why is that?

 

You have to burn MP3's on a data CD. Then press the "Title" button on your dash to display "File Name". Just make sure you name your file with the correct artist and song.

 

Mine displays the name of the song, then u can press Title and itll show the artist and album information...but it depends what program you use to burn the cd. iTunes won't put information onto a disc. I use Toast and i can edit all the information of each track before I burn it.
Also most music Cd's you buy won't have any info at all.

 

yes it will. i know this because i've done it. you have to enable it in the settings.
