HELP, CD Index in Japanese! at DVinfo.net

Glenn Davidson · July 22nd, 2006, 01:30 PM

I created a master CD using Toast 6. When played on I-Tunes the Track and Title information displays in Japanese Characters. It is not random charaters but a Japanese translation. The information in on the master and clones that I made of it. I do not think it is related to CDDB. The TOC index appears fine on Windows Media and Real Players. Is this just a corrupt TOC on this disk? Ever seen this before? This problem just appears on this one CD. Thanks for any info

Turning Japanese

I Think it's Turning Japanese

I Really Think So...

I'v had CDDB in iTunes do weird things with disks before. I burned a CD of nature sounds that I recorded and it came up as a Honda demo CD.

Try burning it again and see i the same thing happens. Turn the internet off before you put it in the computer and see if the Japanese shows up.

I think that CDDB measures the track number and lengths to determine what the CD is. There's a slim chance that two CDs would be exactly the same, but with billions of them out there, it could happen.

Now if the music on the CD suddenly transmogrifies from a Country & Western band into a samsien, shakuhachi flute, and taiko drums ensemble be very very worried.

I think I might prefer that to say, Toby Kieth. At first I thought it was CDDB related. But the whole track template was in Japanese. So intead of saying AUDIO CD it say AUDIO CD in Japanese. I guess it is just a glitch and my I tunes thought it was registered in Japan. I have tried to turn off that darn CDDB, but I-Tunes seem kinda stubborn about that.

Oh well, it is a minor problem and I think a rather humorous one. Thanks guys for the reply.
