When I got my present car a year or so ago, discovered the ICE package
has an USB input. Ripping CDs to MP3 on a USB stick works a treat.

Did some 30 of my favourite CDs (pretty old) - and all the album,
artist, and track names appeared on the ICE screen.

Decided to add some more yesterday. All the info 'unknown'

Did all this on the same Win7 laptop using WMP (I think) Where did it
find all the info displayed for the earlier CDs ? And why not for a new
ones?

It's all a bit of a dark art. My ICE (Citroen) seems to pull the
displayed information from it's arse ... no matter what I use to create
the tracks (on a USB stick). Whatever it is, it manages to display the
least useful part of the metadata possible.

It's not just on the car, though. Looking at the USB stick on the laptop,
and the files say untitled on the new ones.
