6. CD Database (Music DB)
6-1. What is the CD database (Music DB) of the X30 ?
The Music DB is a database of the music loaded (ripped) to the X30 (onto the storage), you can
edit the CD information of each track such as the title, album, artist, year and genre, that are
stored in the Music DB. You can search any of your music easily by title, album, artist, year or
genre.
When the X30 is connected to the internet/network the CD information can be retrieved from the
FreeDB database on the internet. A USB keyboard or the supplied remote control can be used to
edit the tag information of the CD (which you may find incorrect or incomplete) that will
eventually be stored on the X30 Music DB.

6-2. What is FreeDB ?

FreeDB is a database used to look up CD information using the network (Internet). This is done by
the X30 (using a FreeDB aware application) that calculates a (nearly) unique disc ID for a CD
inserted into your optical drive. As a result, the X30 displays the artist, album, track list and some
additional information. Since all information is submitted by FreeDB users, there are likely to be
several different sets of information for the same CD or no information for a certain CD.

7. CD Loading (Ripping)

All music that you load (rip) onto the X30 will be stored in hidden folder (the name of the folder
is .DB), that cannot be seen.
【 TIP ① 】 It is recommended that you connect to the internet to make use of the FreeDB when
loading (ripping) your CDs.
