everyone do it? In a production environment (or even onesy-twosy) is
seems like it would be trivial once you figured it out and had the write
hardware. So what if most players couldn't read it. If it cost nothing
to add it, what's to be lost?
Most don't do it because it's not part of the official Red Book spec.
CD-Text requires 96 bytes of sub-channel data per sector while the
official spec is for 16 bytes of sub-channel per sector. It's a matter
of keeping the CD backward compatible for old CD players.
