Gracenote CD Information
The Gracenote music recognition service
enables the set to look up CD track
information (including album, artist, genre, track
information) from its built-in database. It allows
the recorded CD tracks to be properly
categorized (for example, under Artists, Albums,
Genres or All tracks) and also be merged with
the existing tracks in the hard disk.
12.1 Gracenote music
recognition database
A 800 MB CD database (contains 800,000
most popular CDs) is embedded in every
WAC3500 Center for quick look-up on track
information. An update file that contains newly
released CDs is available quarterly on
www.club.philips.com for download.

music recognition database
1
Use your PC to register your product on
www.club.philips.com and go to "Show
Upgrades & Support" page to download
Gracenote Music recognition database update.
Note that the updates are posted quarterly and
each update is independent of each other, i.e. a
later update could be installed without an earli-
er update.

After storing the file on your PC, you can either
burn a CD with the update file using your
favorite CD burning software and drop the CD
into the WAC3500 Center for automatic
update, or you can use WADM's Gracenote
update option if you have connected your PC
to WAC3500 Center.
