I use two Sony cd walkmans (one for car, one at home). One is an older model DNE710 (manuf. @ 2003) and can read the homemade tags of mp3 (variety made by others), but after I edit them, it shows only dashes. The edited tags are legible on my newer cd walkman. I'm no mp3 tag expert, but it doesn't look like I'm changing ID3 type. I've used Tagscanner, Mp3tag, and Audioshell for Windows. I was directed to the recent thread "Having both ID3v2 and v1 vs. having only ID3v2?" but I didn't see any solution for issue. I've been using cd-rw's to test the edited mp3 tag files, but I don't think the media would make a difference. Any ideas, suggestions, help with using the software to create a compatible tag (hopefully by saving many files at once)?

It could be a UTF vs ISO thing. My car stereo won't read tags written as UTF-8/16 so I have to use ISO-88... (whatever it is). This is different to using the different versions of ID3V2. Though that could also be the problem...again my car stereo does not like ID3V2.4 tags but is fine with ID3V2.3
 You should be able to change what sort of tag is being written....I know you can in mp3tag.

I have the same problem too with CD players even if I have CD text on what I've burned. |

Whenever I burn a CD with itunes and include CD text, or use a bought CD, I've never seen any type of text on a CD player. Do only some players show the text? |

Yes, only some CD players show CD-TEXT.
