Essentially CD Text is a extension of the existing audio CD standard 
("Red Book") that adds the ability to store text and graphical 
information like album titles, artist names, and song titles on a music 
CD. This information is stored in such a way that it doesn't interfere 
with the normal operation of any CD players or CDROM drives.

Cd-Text is very important for me, because i'm a pro DJ, and sometimes 
the ability of see the name of the track on the cdplayer becomes very 
handy. Now most of the cd players can read cd-text, even my sony discman 
does it.

The first ripper that i installed was goobox, but i start to install 
other and other because the lacks of cd text support.
