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?



Try ripping something that you have already tried and see if you get the
correct track listing.

Don't even need to rip it as the info appeared before doing so. After
inserting the CD. But I will find one I've already ripped and has the info
and see if it does the same again. I've not changed any settings.

The lists often come from an internet data base which probably has to be
configured in some settings and/or you have changed a menu option to
look locally rather than on the remote data base.

There should be no difference between finding the track data etc. for
something produced 20 years ago and for something recorded on CD in the
last week.
