Information

The I-MIX comes with a pre-installed CD Database system that will recognize many popular CDs automatically. This system does not require the I-MIX to be on-line to work. The database includes over 280,000 popular CDs and 3.5 million songs for easy recognition. It can be increased with CD upgrades from time to time. Some CDs will not be supported, although it is our commitment to expand the database continuously.

MPEG Layer 3 audio coding technology licensed from THOMSON Multimedia.
