Gracenote Media Database
General notes
This function is available in CD audio, MP3
®
and iPod mode.
There is a version of Gracenote
ognition technology, Emeryville, California,
USA on the COMAND hard disk. You will rec-
ognize this by the logo in the bottom right-
hand corner of certain audio displays. If the
audio CD does not contain any CD text infor-
mation, COMAND can use the Gracenote
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
base 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 Database.
Online prompt for metadata
A connection to the Gracenote
is made automatically when an audio CD is
inserted. The missing data is loaded, saved in
COMAND 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
unavailable.
An Internet connection is required for this
( page 152).
