The Cd Contents Display Screen - Yamaha MCX 1000 - MusicCAST - Digital Audio Server Manual

The CD contents display screen

When you load an Audio 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?
Gracenote CDDB is a database which you can access to gain
information on the songs, album, artists, and genre names for
music CDs.
The method the MusicCAST uses to obtain information
depends on the disc it is storing.
• When information on the Audio CD exists in the
built-in Gracenote CDDB database of the
MusicCAST server:
The MusicCAST server reads song, album, artist, 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 this function.
• When there is no information on the Audio 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 service (see Gracenote CDDB
Connection, page 119), and obtain information for display
and storage.
What is CD TEXT?
Some Audio CDs have text information such as their song titles,
album names, artist, 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 Audio CDs on the hard disk drive. Because the
MusicCAST server cannot store some kinds of CD TEXT, we
recommend that you use Gracenote CDDB by default (see
page 119).
• When the MusicCAST server cannot find any
information about the Audio CD:
When there is no text on the Audio CD, and the MusicCAST
server cannot find any relevant data on its built-in Gracenote
CDDB database or the Internet-based Gracenote CDDB
database service, the following screen appears on the on-
screen display:
Storing music on the MusicCAST server
In this case, the MusicCAST server does not automatically
store any information regarding the song titles, album, artist, or
genre names. Lack of data makes searching for songs difficult,
you can enter this data by hand. For more information, see
page 60 (Changing an album name), page 65 (Changing an
artist name), page 68 (Changing a genre name), page 71
(Changing a song name), and page 78 (using the on-screen
keyboard).
• 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
"Cancel" and press SELECT.
• To redisplay the Audio 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 Audio CD. Select
this option to redisplay information from
the Gracenote CDDB when multiple
selection are available for the Audio CD.
CD TEXT info: Displays the CD TEXT information stored
on the Audio CD, if any.
Clear CD info: Clears all information on the Audio CD
from the screen.
Note that the MusicCAST stores the information as displayed
on this screen for each Audio CD.
