Music CD track recognition

[Mr Vlad]

I don't know if this has been listed on here before so apologies if it has. I played a music CD for the first time in my is250 but what disappointed me was the player didn't recognise any of the track titles. Is that right for a 2007 car with ML? If so is it possible to do something so as to enable track listing?

Look for any settings to do with Gracenote - that's the database of tracks/artists. Maybe it's been disabled?

enter "IS 250SE-L ML no CD track list" in the search box, upper right.

Hi Herbie don't think my car has gracenote.

Nice one Mike. Excellent thread but blown apart by those pics showing track listing.

If that's true then that's your problem Vlad.

Mine only shows track titles when the car is stopped. As soon as I start moving they disappear. Stupid safety feature I've assumed.

i thought it had something to do with the way the CD was recorded. the original CDs i have don't show the name of the tracks, however, someone gave me a copy of a CD and the tracks were displayed!!

That can indeed happen.

Some CD/DVD burning software like the one below will allow you to query the Gracenote database for the info if it isn't already there and merge it into the burn for you.
