Just a bit of background first to make sure both you and I are thinking 
the same way. Normally to make a DAO CD (best thing for audio) You need 
two files, The binary and the TOC or the CUE. The TOC for sure has all 
that info in it (or should) so you should have it already somewhere. 
However, If you can't find it, putting the CD in your computer CD/DVD 
drive and doing:

cdrdao show-toc filename.toc

should get it for you.

This will only work assuming all the info you wish (Including ISRC and 
text) were entered somewhere in Mixbus in the first place. Otherwise 
only track start and length will be there.

Am I making sense?
