Audio CD Song, Artist, Album and
Genre Information

Radios with HDD, contain a Gracenote

®

Database that

the radio uses to determine the song, artist, album and
genre information. The Gracenote

®

Database allows the

radio to record an audio CD to the HDD and store the
content using song, artist, album and genre information.

Newly released audio CDs as well as some less
common audio CDs may not be found in the Gracenote

®

Database stored on the HDD. If these audio CDs contain
CD-text, the radio will use the CD-text information when
recording the content to the HDD. If an audio CD is not
found in the Gracenote

®

Database and it does not have

CD-text information, the radio will record the audio CD
with all song, artist, album and genre names as
“NO INFO”.

Songs recorded with “NO INFO” to the HDD will be hard
to sort, identify, and select. For better HDD navigation,
CDs with “NO INFO” can first be converted to MP3 format
with Tag information on a home computer and then
recorded to the HDD from an MP3 disc or USB device.

Occasionally, the radio may find more than one match in
Gracenote

®

Database for an audio CD that has been

recorded. If this happens, the radio will display “MultiHit”
for the name information when the songs are selected

from the HDD. With a “MuliHit” song playing, press the
button below the EDIT label to bring up the list of
multiple names found in the Gracenote

®

Database.

Use the Menu/Select knob to highlight and select the
correct name for the “MultiHit” recorded CD.

The Gracenote

®

Database stored on the HDD can be

updated so that it includes name information for more
recently released audio CDs. See your dealer/retailer for
more information on Gracenote

®

Database updates for

the HDD radio.
