Default Cd master printing.. file type? track text?

I have a mastered Cd that I need to send to be duplicated/printed/jewel cased etc.
The company I am using will accept any file type, it is up to me to give them a hard copy exactly how I want it... they do not change the master in any way, they are copying the exact files I give them.

1) How do you add song titles to Cd tracks that can be read in compatible cd players?

2) What file types should be used when sending my final master Cd to the printing company?

Sounds like you want to make a DDP. You can do it in REAPER using some special markers and formatting and the DDP file type in the render settings.

What is a DDP/what does DDP stand for?

A ddp is a type of disk image that can be used to create a CD master.

Here's a video tutorial that explains all the details of making one in reaper.

DDP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_Description_Protocol

Though I would go with Cue/Bin as it is not a proprietary format.

Also I would second guess the company that does not have a preference or guide of what files they prefer or consider the best. This sound too much like "we have no idea just give us what every so we can bill ya".

I would think cue/bin would be the way to go too.

But can you burn the song titles/album name/artist name into a cue/bin?

I used this company a few years back and they did good by me. I had recorded a Cd with a band in a studio and sent away whatever it was the studio gave us. This was before my long dark walk down the homestudio hell hole

Cue/bin (or PC printed CDs as well) are not accepted by some companies for some good reason. There are more chances to end up with a pile of CDs containing errors rejected and returned back to the factory. DDP is safer. Use DDP if you can. Better for the factory and better for you. Sometimes it's not very easy to convince the companies to eat up their wrong CDs unless the errors are totally evident and fully unacceptable.
