Description

Universal Product Code/Media Catalog Number

Universal product codes (UPC) or media catalog numbers (MCN) can be written to a CD as a means of identification. However, not all CD-R drives support this feature. Check your CD-R drive documentation to determine if your drive will write these codes.

Type the code in this box, and the codes will be written to the CD with the rest of the project.

Universal product codes are administered by the Uniform Code Council. For more information, click here.

Sound Forge Pro note CD InformationSpecifying a value other than 1 will produce a valid Red Book CD, but some audio CD players may be unable to play the disc

If you select the Write CD Text check box on the Burn Disc-at-Once CD dialog, this data will be written to your disc. In order to display CD Text, your CD player must support CD Text.

  • In order to burn valid CD Text, you must specify a title for the disc and for each track on the disc (artist information is optional). If the Name/Title box in the CD Information or Track List window is left blank, a warning will be displayed before burning so you can choose to write the disc without CD Text or cancel burning and add title information as needed.
