The CD contents display screen
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.
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.
• 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.
• If the MusicCAST server finds more than one
applicable entry in the Gracenote CDDB:
The following screen appears on the on-screen display:
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.
• To redisplay the CD contents use / / / to
move the cursor to one of the following options
and press SELECT:
CDDB Info:
Displays the information stored in either
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.
If the MusicCAST server does not find any relevant data and
you think it should, press TOP MENU to return to the top
menu, and start the procedure again, as documented on
page 21.

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.
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).
