E_IMAPI_DF2RAW_CLIENT_NAME_IS_NOT_VALID

E_IMAPI_DF2RAW_CLIENT_NAME_IS_NOT_VALID concerns the application identity stored on IDiscFormat2RawCD. The ClientName property is the friendly name of the IMAPI client and is part of format-object setup; it is not disc title, CD-Text or filesystem metadata.

Validate the client name before preparing the medium

Log the exact value passed to put_ClientName, including whether it is empty.
Use a stable application name rather than deriving the value from track, album or image metadata.
Do not enter PrepareMedia until the client-name setter has succeeded.

Changing the raw stream, requested sector type or inserted CD cannot repair an invalid client string. Keep client setup separate from image metadata in both code and logs. This also prevents a misleading sequence where preparation or writing is retried repeatedly even though the format object never completed basic application-identification setup.
