Hi

maybe Nero Linux 3 can be a temporarily solution as long no burner is
found that will work with FOSS?
Nero Linux 3 alleged should write CD-Text and for non-profit facilities
the licence costs 4,- EUR.

The Free Software side isn't the problem, we have all the software tools
up to and including Blu-Ray support. The problem is that most people
don't know or care about CD-TEXT metadata because they are not making
CDs of original material. Therefore many hardware burners do not have
the ability to burn data in the subchannels of the disc, because people
don't ask for the feature.

The alternative to CD-TEXT is online lookup services like CDDB/Gracenote
or MusicBrainz, but they suck for short-run CD-R releases, because they
just return 'unknown artist', or even the wrong artist/track metadata.
And of course they don't work if the playback or ripping device is not
online.

Right, but cdrdao already supports CD-TEXT, and so does its Gnome CD
Master front-end. Free Software isn't just about the price ;-)

Cheers!
