Meridian CD

I quite like the Meridian system in my car. At my age my hearing's gone a bit so it doesn't have to be perfect!

Stores 10 CDs, plays single CDs, plays via both USB & bluetooth, good radio. A versatile piece of kit. Nice sound. Simple. It does the job.

With the last two CDs that I've bought (who buys CDs anymore - must be an old guy) it doesn't recognise the album title or the track names. No previous problems in that area.

I don't know where to start looking for a solution.

Is there a setting that I've changed somewhere?

The CDs must have the info on them because it all shows in iTunes.

I'm just a bit baffled.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

RR

In an attempt to answer my own question.....

Following an extensive internet trawl, it appears that the system uses the "Gracenote" database which needs periodic updating.

I think the retailer could do this and is probably not one of the updates that are done automatically at a service etc.

I suspect that I'll have to ask.

Probably hasn't been updated in the 4+years that I've had my car.

Does this seem like I'm on the right track?

Thanks.

Have you tried burning the cd's in MP3 ? I know you shouldn't have to but Rolling Eyes

CDs can also be burnt with CD-Info on them at the time of writing, so certain players can pick them up.

I don't think the LR system is completely based around the Gracenote library or others, as I noticed a new Olly Murs album (the to-be-Mrs' - certainly not mine!) got read in properly when she ripped it to the in-car library. Given the album came out after the system had last been in for an update, it can't be linked to that.

OK Guys.

Thanks for those two points.

More thought required.
