When you load a CD, the MusicCAST server reads its type and volume, and looks for the names of the songs, album, artist, and genre in its built-in Gracenote CDDB® database.

What is the Gracenote CDDB?

The Gracenote CDDB is a database which you can access to gain information on the songs, artists, genre, and album names for music CDs.

The method the MusicCAST uses to obtain information depends on the disc it is storing.

•When information on the CD exists in the built-in Gracenote CDDB database of the MusicCAST server:

The MusicCAST server reads song, album, title, and genre information from its built-in Gracenote CDDB database. (see page 119 for an explanation of how to set the MusicCAST server not to access its internal CDDB).

•When there is no information on the CD in the built-in Gracenote CDDB database of the MusicCAST server:

If set to do so, the MusicCAST server can attempt to connect to the Internet based database site (see CDDB, page 119), and obtain information for display and storage.

What is CD TEXT?

Some CDs have text information such as their song titles, album names, and genre names encoded on them. This information is called CD TEXT. The MusicCAST server can read and display text, and can store it together with song data when you store CDs on the hard disk drive. Because the MusicCAST server cannot store some kinds of CD TEXT, we recommend that you use the Gracenote CDDB by default (see page 119).

•When the MusicCAST server cannot find any information about the CD:

When there is no text on the CD, and the MusicCAST server cannot find any relevant data on its built-in Gracenote CDDB database or the Internet Gracenote CDDB, the following screen appears on the on-screen display:

In this case, the MusicCAST server does not automatically store any information regarding the song titles, artist, album, or genre names. Lack of data makes searching for songs difficult, you can enter this data by hand. For more information see page 78.

Use the / to move the cursor to the entry you think is correct and press SELECT.

To halt this process, use / // to move the cursor to “Cancel” and press SELECT.

	the internal or Internet-based Gracenote
	CDDB service for the CD. Select this
	option to redisplay information from the
	Gracenote CDDB when multiple selection
	are available for the CD.

CD TEXT info: Displays the CD TEXT information stored on the CD, if any.

Clear CD info: Clears all information on the CD from the screen.

Note that the MusicCAST stores the information as displayed on this screen for each CD.
