We recommend that you do not
interrupt the Autobuild process.
Please allow enough time (see note
below) for the process to complete.
!
The length of time it takes to
complete the Autobuild process is
dependent upon changer brand
and model. In addition, please
allow approximately 30-60 seconds
per disc for the actual information
processing. This means that a 200-
disc changer could potentially take
200 minutes.
!
Escient Pipeline software, sold
separately, allows you to add scanned
or downloaded covers not recognized
by TuneBase 200.

Run the Autobuild Process
TuneBase 200 manages CD libraries on external changers through an initial identification
process Escient calls “Autobuild”. During this process, TuneBase 200 contacts the
Gracenote CDDB database to gather data about the CDs in your collection. This
information includes Artist, Songs/Titles, and Cover Art.
To initiate an Autobuild, load the changer(s) with discs and close the door. Or, if the
discs are already loaded, open and close the changer(s) doors.
TuneBase 200 will
immediately initiate a connection to the CDDB database on the Internet to get the data
for your collection. Processing time will vary based on changer brand and models.
When complete, the guide screen will be updated with a CD group on the filter bar and
all music available from the attached CD changer(s) will be identified by a CD icon to the
left of the title/artist/track that it recognizes. (Some CDs may not be recognized, and in
that instance, TuneBase 200 attaches a generic “style/genre of music” cover and generic
text.)
Inserting and Removing Discs
After the initial Autobuild, what happens when you insert and remove discs from your
changer? If TuneBase 200 detects that a changer door has been closed, the Quick
Lookup screen is shown, and TuneBase 200 will begin to check each previously empty
slot in the changer to see if any new discs were added. It also checks each previously
occupied slot in the changer to see if any discs were removed. However,
do not remove
and insert discs into the same slot in the same step.
