The gang in Apple’s iTunes group have been quietly changing the way they burn CDs for several versions now. Sometimes, you get the CD Text attached (the thing that makes your car stereo, if equipped, able to tell you what song is playing) and sometimes you don’t. Also, with the way they now do gap-less songs, you haven’t been able to control the pause time between tracks (although I still think there was one minor release that allowed you to do this – but when I went back to try it, iTunes had already updated).
I stuck in a CD today to burn a couple of tracks and noticed this handy dialog box appear right after I hit “Burn Disc” in my playlist:
Notice that I can now pick the gap time between songs (in this case, I’m using “none” because I’m burning a recorded speech that ended up split across multiple tracks) and I can choose to include the CD Text. Great new feature! Thanks, iTunes!
