Gracenote Media Database Introduction
This function is only available in audio CD
mode.
There is a version of the music recognition
software from Gracenote ®
, Emeryville,
California, USA on the hard disk. You will
recognize this by the logo which can be seen
in the bottom right-hand corner of certain
audio displays. Many audio CDs contain CD text. COMAND
uses the information contained therein to
display the artist, album and track name.
If the audio CD does not contain any CD text
information, COMAND can use the Gracenote
Media Database to identify unknown audio
tracks when running in audio CD mode. This
is only possible if the relevant information is
saved in the Gracenote Media Database and
if the "Gracenote Media Database" function
is activated.
If this is the case, COMAND will display the
corresponding data such as artist, album and
track name in the relevant displays and lists.
If COMAND accesses the Gracenote Media
Database when reading an audio CD, you will
see the following message:
Selecting Gracenote
®

If the inserted CD does not contain any
Gracenote ®
data, the Gracenote Media Database menu item is shown in gray and
