There is a version of Gracenote®music recog-
nition technology, Emeryville, California, USA on
the hard disk of the multimedia system. You will
recognize this by the logo in the bottom right-
hand corner of certain audio displays. If the
audio CD does not contain any CD text informa-
tion, the multimedia system can use the Grace-
note
®Media Database to identify unknown
audio tracks when in audio CD mode.
In addition the cover art for the main display
field, the album list and the "Select by cover"
function from the Gracenote
®Media Database
are displayed for the music files and the iPod®.
This occurs when the cover art is not contained
in the files but in the Gracenote
®Media Data-
base.

A connection to the Gracenote®Data Server is
made automatically when an audio CD is inser-
ted. The missing data is loaded, saved in the
multimedia system and shown on the display. If
the search for metadata is unsuccessful, no data
can be displayed. If no phone is connected or
configured for data use, this function is unavail-
able.
