Detailed Description

The CDText interface is used to manipulate the CD-TEXT data on audio cds.

CD Text is an extension of the existing audio CD standard that adds the ability to store text information like album titles, artist names, and song titles on a music CD. This information is stored in such a way that it doesn't interfere with the normal operation of any CD players or CDROM drives.

You could store up to 5,000 characters with alphabet/numbers, and about 2,500 characters with Kanji on a single CD. Not all devices support CD Text. To find out if a particular device supports CDText use the CDTextSupport property of the Device interface.
