Searching Music Library Using
Voice Recognition
Voice Recognition:Gracenote
improves music search and
navigation by identifying bands,
artists, and albums names that may
be hard to pronounce, irregular
spellings, and nicknames as voice
commands to access music. See
Voice Recognition 068.
Normalization: Normalization helps
to improve the voice recognition
accuracy for titles that sound similar.
It also helps group long lists of
genres into 10 common genres. For
example, there may be multiple rock
genres in the media library;
normalization will group all those
into one rock Genre. Normalization
default is off.
To turn Normalization on:
1. Press CONFIG on the faceplate or touch the Config
screen button on the
Home Page.
2. Touch Radio Settings, then touch Gracenote Options.
3. Touch Normalization to turn on or off.
Cover Art: The Gracenote
embedded database contains cover
art or album art information for the
music on the USB device. If the
music is recognized by Gracenote
and does have cover art, Gracenote
will use the cover art found in the
embedded database and display it
on the radio. User predefined cover
art will always be used first. If no cover art is found Gracenote will
use generic Genre graphics or
images of artists.
