Electronics package, updating album art HOW?!?!?!?!?
I have been buring my iTunes library to CD's and recording them successfully to my jukebox, no problem there. (iTunes music was bought through iTunes for what its worth)
I also had a few retail CD's bought at the store. When I put them in the car and recorded them it transfered the alubm art!
I noticed an option in the Jukebox menu that said something similar to "Update album art via CD" but I can find no instruction on what to load onto the CD or where to come across that info?
Has anyone succesfully done this? Or know where I can read the procedure?
Thanks in advance.

I think this happens most with greatest hits CDs and singles.

You can get it to display the album art? I haven't spent much time playing with it yet to know. Personally I was impressed enough that it recognized a Jillian Goldin CD. She's relatively obscure.
I'll play around with mine more later today and if I figure it out I'll let you know.

"CD Database" does NOT mean "Compact Disc drive in the car" in some format like a database. It's referring to the CDDB (now Gracenote) that holds all the wonderful publishing information about compact discs.

If you find a way, let me know! I'm tired of seeing "Unknown" and wondering if it's the Black Eyed Peas or Shania Twain. . .

The CDDB uses a unique ID generated from the content to identify the disc. If you burn your own tracks, that unique ID isn't likely to be in the CDDB. Hence, no album art and no track info. The jukebox is a great idea in theory but in execution it's quite lame. A USB drive full of ripped MP3s is way more useful and effective.

most burning programs (nero etc) dont do it right use iTunes (make sure include cd text is checked) or windows media player.
for it to record to the HDD correctly I have to burn them as audio CD's NOT mp3' I dunno why

I will definitely be committing further research and trials to this. I love having album artwork. Not sure why.
By the way, I don't have my manual with me, does anyone know if the Jukebox always rips music as MP3s? And if it's already MP3, does it just pull the file straight off? Just trying to figure out optimal disk space saving.
I'm also really shocked that Black Eyed Peas don't show up right, that just seems weird.

no idea why it doesnt accept mp3 cd for recording, its kinda counter intuitive
