8.  Click on the “Accept” button to download the 
CDDB information.

  

The album/artist/song title information will be 
transferred directly to the I-Mix’s hard drive. It 
takes about 5 seconds per album to transfer. After 
the information has been transferred, the songlist 
will be updated on the PC screen. Depending on the 
size of your songlist, it may take up to 1 minute to 
update the songlist on your PC screen. 
 

Note:

 There are two possible fail-to-match messages 

that may appear at this point.  

1.  Not a valid CD – 

CDDB will not identify MP3 

files or analog recordings. Typically CDDB will 
only identify standard original music CDs. 

2. 

No match –

 New or rare CDs may not be in the 

CDDB database. If CDDB cannot identify the 
album, it will display a message stating the 
album is not available and will give you an 
option to provide album information.

 

 

9.  Using the “More” button,

 you can also get 

detailed information about the album such as the 
year, record label, notes, credits and website links. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

10. To exit the “More” menu, click the “Close” 
button (X) in the upper right hand corner or the 
“OK” button at the bottom of the screen. 

 

          

 

 

 

To exit the Album Info screen, click on the “Close” 
button or the “X” at the top of the screen. 

 

If you exit the Album Info screen by using the 
“Close” button, the PC Link screen will be 
refreshed to reflect the changes. If you exit the 
Album Info screen by using the “X” button, the 
information provided by CDDB will be saved in the 
I-Mix, however to view the changes on the PC Link 
screen, you must press the Download button.
