Does iTunes 7 "Include CD Text" Burn Feature Work?

The CD player in my car will display the disc title and song name if it is encoded with CD Text information. It works well with Toast. I noticed that iTunes 7 has a Burn preference "Include CD Text" checkbox, but when I select it and burn a CD the info does not appear in the car.

Does anyone know what's up with this?

Mac OS X (10.4.7), iTunes 7

Forget the car. Even another fully loaded MAC running the latest OSX and iTunes 7.0.2 can't read the track info, as usual, although the CD was burned in iTunes with this feature turned on. It might work on some players, in some configurations. But what is far more astounding than the fact that Apple can't provide this basic burn function generally, or apparently make it work within the Mac family itself -is that we who use Apple have almost no technical or support resource other than this forum, and each other -to figure this out. Why is there no Apple technician answering our questions here or anywhere else-and simply straightening out this absurdly frustrating but utterly basic burn issue?

It's as if Apple is saying "We don't address software issues of this kind, go figure it out yourselves."

did you ever find out why the include cd text box was grayed out? I am having the same problem and don't know how to fix it.
