If you have CD-TEXT discs

CD-TEXT discs have information, such as the disc titles or artist names, memorized in a blank space on the discs where there is no information on normal discs. The CD-TEXT information (disc title, artist name and track title) will be stored as the Disc Memo automatically, so you can check that information in the same way as shown above.
