Well, if you made an AUDIO CD, it doesn't matter what the embedded ID tag was 
for the MP3... because, its not an MP3 anymore. Its now an audio cd (which, 
actually, I think in realty the AUDIO CD uses the wav format, but don't hold me 
on that).
 

I'm not an expert in perfecting the AUDIO CD. I just make plain vanilla AUDIO 
CDs. So, I can't answer this fully. However, here's a few tidbits. For any 
player to show the actual track name (for an AUDIO CD, not a DATA CD with 
MP3's), the player needs to support what's called CD-TEXT. All the computer 
CD/DVD players support it with no problem. For standalone players, most do, or 
at least most new ones do. From what I've seen, many of the stock CD players in 
cars do not support it. So, you would only see the track number.

 

Now. for CD-TEXT to be displayed by the players that support it, the data must 
be recorded onto the AUDIO CD during the authoring process. Whatever you used 
(I believe you said NERO), look in the options either before the burn or on the 
screen right before you actually hit to start the burn. Look somewhere in there 
for CD-TEXT and you want to enable this. If done right, and the standalone 
player supports it, you should see the text.

What do you mean does not show up from the audio CD? You mean 

like if you play it in a standalone the track name doesn't show?

No in my Walmart Standalone thingie -- the name never shows.

 

I mean when I have it in my DVD/CD drive, it starts 

automatically in Music Match Jukebox but only the track and no 

artist name shows in the playlist section.

 

Yet when I click on the same mp3 file on my hard drive the name 

of the book will show as well as my name in the Jukebox play 

list.

 

So what would be the difference since the mp3 has an embedded ID 

tag?  It should show up both times.
