If appropriate CD data is unavailable, the song list appears with generic names such as “Track” and “Unknown” (page 49). If your MCX-2000 is configured to be able to access the Internet, you can set a CD Lookup option to use the online CDDB database (page 93) and then, in the above screen, try using the CDDB command as shown below to retrieve the latest information from the online database. If your audio CD contains CD-TEXT data (page 53), song data can be retrieved from it using the CD-TEXT command. Feel free to give generic names using the “Do not use” command. Use this if the retrieved song data is incorrect. You can edit it later after importing songs (page 75).

The MCX-2000 shows a progress bar for each of the selected songs.
