No, I was not calling this an HD radio. I know the difference, but it is a good point to clarify that to someone not realizing it.

TO clarify, I meant to point out that the technology GM and others have been using for about 6 years now is neat. While we are at the topic of radios, I wish there was an HD option for the new Camaro.

I didn't see no box for selecting id3 tags. I thought adding text was the same. Maybe the stereo just doesn't display song titles. I thought that the store bought Nickelback CD would have displayed it as well.

If the information is included on the CD it will be displayed. I have ripped many CD's into MP3's from storebought CD's (For my own use) and Some have the info and some don't BUT if you save the MP3's to your computer first, You can go into the File Properties under general and details (see attached pictures) and individually name and put song info to each file and that info WILL be displayed...

I am not sure , it may have been in a box of stuff I bought in a bundle of CD's at a yard sale... I just picked songs that I liked from them and ripped them to my computer... I make MP3 Cd's and play them in my cars...

Most ripping software (eg zune, windows media player, etc) will automatically tag your songs if it's from a real CD. I recommend the Zune software (no, you don't need the player to use the software).

Unfortunately many older cd's did not inclue the information or at the time the software I used did not automatically pull the information. but the best way to tell if it is on the CD is when you play the real cd on you car (if you radio can display the info) the information does appear on the display. instead of just telling the track number.

The information doesn't come from the CD, they use heuristics and a database on the internet to figure out what the CD is.

in a store bought cd it has the text info in the table of contents of the cd itself (ID3) . CDDB (CD database) is used by ripping programs

Kinda getting into semantics but CDs use the CD-Text spec and MP3 (and some other compressed formats) uses ID3. ID3 can hold much more data than CD-Text. CDDB is just a public database used for matching CDs to their album information and writing that info to the ID3 tags of the ripped files. As far as I'm aware, they don't use CD-text at all in this process.

EAC+Lame is a probably the best solution around but a bit on the difficult side of things for those that are less computer savvy.

So does this mean that the store-bought Nickelback CD should have displayed the song info if the radio was capable?

Skyman- All that information you displayed is in each song. I've become somewhat of a master at correcting/updating them.

Maybe the stereo just won't show any song info. [What a nice upgraded stereo I got!!]

Store bought CD's inherently DO NOT have any song information attached to them.
