Escaping quotes in CD-Text

Name: Anonymous 2006-10-08 16:33

I'm making CD-Rs for my car. I'm also putting CD-Text information on them so I can see what is playing. One of them is Dire Straits's Brothers in Arms. One of the tracks is "The Man's Too Strong". The line in my .inf file is:

Tracktitle=    'The Man's Too Strong'

I'm concerned that cdrecord will make it say just 'The Man'.

Is there something I can do to escape the quote? Is it just the normal \' ?

Thanks!

What kind of stupid program wouldn't just read that upto the EOL?

I don't know if it will do that or not. I'm betting, though, that it will read from quote to quote, just like most code does.

Just checked on another CD that had a ' in the title of a song and you don't need to escape the quote in the song title.

And it worked fine!

Thanks, world4ch!
