How to Add Text to a Music CD
Burning CDs allows music listeners to arrange songs into personal playlists that can be listened to at their convenience. CDs can now be burned with text known as "CD-text." CD-text lists information about a song such as its title, artist and the album on which it appears. Many modern CD players, car audio systems and electronic music programs support the ability to display this information to the listener.

Tips & Warnings
If the entire playlist cannot fit on one CD, you have the option of splitting the playlist across multiple CDs; iTunes will present you with this option after Step 5. If you do not want your playlist to appear on multiple CDs, click "Cancel," remove some songs from the playlist and click "Burn Disc."
