Gracenote ®
Media Database i
This function is only available in audio CD
mode.
There is a version of the music recognition
software from Gracenote ®
, Emeryville, Cali-
fornia, USA on the hard disk. You will notice
this by the logo which can be seen in the bot-
tom right-hand corner of certain audio dis-
plays. Many audio CDs contain CD text. COMAND
uses the information contained therein to dis-
play the artist, albuma nd trackname. If the audio CD does no
tcontain 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
available 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: Switching the Gracenote
