well first of all the the cd that you are playing it supposed to said text cd, that means that the cd has the text information on it. If is not, the cd player will not display text

 

Yea I get the samething for HOMEMADE Cds. The name shows up on text and also shows the Artist and Song Title. I also never had to change my CD/Radio unit before so it must be working fine or it may be because its and 08'?! I'm not to sure.
Well...you would need to press TEXT on your CD/Radio unit. Also what I seem to find weird is that when you play BOUGHT CDs the title sometimes does not show. But, on my HOMEMADE CDs it always says the Artist and Title name of the song.

 

i dont have a TEXT button.....

 

I tried over 6 cd's
Some of them i made and some of them are ones i bought and none of them showed the track or cd name

 

It could be because of the fact that you have a Nav. system?! Because where the screen is supposed to be is replaced by the A/C and with the CD display screen for the Non-ML's. Sorry for the mix up.

 

Well....I can't really help about the Text part for the song titles, but sometimes its just the program you are using to make CDs. I've tried a couple of programs and so far only the Sonic program has worked for me. If that doesn't work, then Lexus really messed up because my Mom's 2000 CR-V Seems to work and for Lexus not working.....LoL!!! Well....you get the picture.

 

where can i get that? is it only windows or mac?

 

I'm not to technically sure about if its only for windows or mac, but I have windows and it works fine. You should be able to get it at Best Buy, Circuit City, or any store that sells computer software. Here is also their website: Sonic Solutions & This is the program that I'am currently using: Roxio RecordNow (The company is still with Sonic)

 

Aw man i dont want to buy anything, ill live with it...

 

nero works fine for me

 

If you have a home-made cd and it is not showing the Artist/title/album the Id3 tags are blank! You can edit the id3 tags on your pc (through winamp and other popular music players), changing the filename alone won't populate your id3 tags! Anyone with an ipod should know the frustrations of having to update id3 tags as apple sorts mp3s by them

Hope this helped

 

No clue--do tell?

 

huh? I used itunes to burn my cd's and all the songs have names on them
