Embedding ISRC Codes into MP3 files for Radio Distribution

Is there a way to do this in the current version of Audition CC? I've searched the forums and found a discussion from a few years ago where someone posted it's in the RIFF section of the Metadata, but I sure don't see a place for it there. An alternative given was to embed them in the CD Data, but I couldn't really find that either and I don't want to burn to a CD.

I have the list of ISRC numbers provided by the disc manufacturer and wish to embed them into .mp3s that I will share with radio stations. I know that third-party distributors like Tunecore will embed them for digital sales distribution, but that's not what I'm after.

    The word is that some software called Jaikoz will do this: Jaikoz Audio Tagger - I'm not aware that you can do it directly in Audition, though.

    And I say "Why not?"    This is expensive software for audio production and ISRC capability is not engineered into it?   Audition won't even let me put song titles that show up on CD players.   If they do, they do a poor job of instruction.

    Audition absolutely supports writing CD-TEXT and ISRC strings to tracks in CD Projects.  It's not a default column in the CD Project view, so you'll need to enable it by right-clicking in the top column headers of a CD Project and toggling ISRC in the list:

    As for ISRC metadata inside an MP3, I wasn't aware this was a supported field in the ID3 metadata schema.  Please visit our UserVoice site and submit a formal request.  However, Audition does support ISRC inside the standard XMP and RIFF metadata container, and this field will map to any format which supports XMP or which has a corresponding ISRC value in the standards they support:
