There is a version of Gracenote® music rec-

ognition technology on the COMAND hard

drive. You will recognize this by the logo

which can be seen in the bottom right-hand

corner of certain audio displays.
Many audio CDs contain CD text. COMAND

uses the information contained therein to dis-

play the artist, album and track name.
If the audio CD does not contain any CD text

information, COMAND can use the Grace-

note

Media Database to identify unknown

audio tracks when in audio CD mode. This is

only possible if the relevant information is

saved in the Gracenote

Media Database and

if the "Gracenote Media Database" function is

activated.
If this is the case, COMAND will display the

corresponding data such as artist, album and

track name in the relevant displays and lists.
