If the first session, for example, contains data
in audio CD format and the second session
contains MP3 tracks, COMAND handles the
CD as a conventional audio CD. This means
that the MP3 tracks cannot be accessed.
Similarly, if the first session contains MP3
tracks and the second session contains data
in audio CD format, COMAND handles the CD
as an MP3 CD. Only the MP3 tracks can be
accessed.
File Structure of Storage Medium
When creating an MP3 storage medium, you
can organize MP3 tracks into folders. A folder
can also contain additional folders. A storage
medium may have a maximum of 255 folders
in total. A maximum of 255 tracks and 255
folders are permissible per folder. A
maximum of 1200 tracks in total are
permissible per storage medium.
Track Names and Folder Names
When creating an MP3 storage medium, you
can assign names to the MP3 tracks and to
the folders.
COMAND uses these names in MP3 mode for
the corresponding display. Empty folders or
folders containing data other than MP3 tracks
will not be displayed by COMAND.
If MP3 files are stored in the root directory
itself, the root directory also counts as a
folder. COMAND will then display the root
directory name as a folder name.
Please note the following when assigning
track names:
R Track names must contain at least one
character.
R Track names must have the extension
“mp3”.
R A period must appear between the track
name and the extension.
i COMAND does not support ID3 tags.
Permissible Formats
COMAND supports the following formats:
R MPEG1 audio layer 3 format
i In everyday speech, this format
designation has been replaced by the
designation “MP3”.
R Microsoft Windows ®
Media Audio V2, V7,
V8 und V9 (WMA).
Notes on Copyright
The music tracks that you can create for
playback in MP3 mode are generally
copyright-protected under applicable
international and national laws.
In many countries, the reproduction of
copyrighted material is not permitted even if
only for personal use without the express
prior consent of the copyright holder.
Please check the current copyright laws for
your country and comply with them.
These restrictions do not apply, for example,
to your own compositions and recordings or
for recordings for which authorization has
been obtained from the copyright holder.
Notes about Audio DVD Discs
COMAND can playback commercially
available, prerecorded audio DVDs that bear
the following label. You will usually find the
label on the DVD booklet, the inlay or the DVD
itself.

uncompressed format or in lossless
compressed format. The sound quality on

Gracenote ®
Media Database
i This function is only available in audio CD
mode.
CD information including album title, artist
name, and track name is obtained from the
Gracenote ®
Media Database. A version of the
Gracenote ®
Media Database is stored on the
COMAND’s hard drive. Access to this
database is indicated by the Gracenote logo
being displayed in the lower right of some
audio displays.
Many audio CDs contain CD text. COMAND
uses the information contained in this text for
displaying the name of the artist, album and
track.
If the audio CD does not contain any CD text,
COMAND can recognize unknown audio
tracks in CD audio mode with the aid of the
Gracenote Media Database. For this to
happen, the corresponding information must
be stored in the Gracenote Media Database
and the “Read CD Database” function must
be switched on.
If this is the case, COMAND provides the
corresponding data, such as name of artist,
album and track, in the corresponding
displays and lists.

Database. Optimum Gracenote ®
music
recognition function is only achieved when
the most up-to-date database is available in
your vehicle.
You can have the music recognition software
updated at an Authorized Mercedes-Benz

update process yourself.
i The Gracenote ®
Media Database is
updated at the same time as the map
software ( Y page 48).
Setting Audio Format
It is only possible to set the audio format in
DVD audio mode. The number of available
audio formats depends on the DVD. The
content of an audio DVD is called the “album”,
which can be divided into a maximum of nine
groups. A group may contain, for example,
music of different sound qualities (stereo and
multi-channel formats) or bonus tracks. Each
group can include up to 99 tracks. If a DVD
