I believe that the above information is not accurate as the META info can be embedded in an Audio CD (http://www.ehow.com/how_5855309_embed-track-titles-audio-cds.html). Most burning applications offer the possibility to manually add TXT data to a CD, but this is a hidden feature that users don't find it.

Even the link you have posted mentions that there are applications that allow you to do that.

On a side note, you are assuming, because the user did not mentioned it was burning an Audio CD. He just wanted to add ID3 tags and properly identify artist names for his tracks.

Sorry, I'll have to correct you on this one. Your linked Ehow article is misleading: it claims to be showing how to embed meta info in Audio CDs, whilst it clearly states that you should switch the burning mode into 'Data CD' on step 2 - which effectively leaves your MP3 files as MP3 files. Completely intact, tagged or untagged.

I'm not sure what you're arguing against since I did explain that CD-Text info can be included. You can't quite call it track tagging (because it's stored in the lead-in area of the disc, and not each separate track), but it's meta info nonetheless.
