Gracenote update?

Is there a way to update Gracenote? I looked around their website and didn't see anything jump out at me.
Thanks.

Ok doing a bit more searching, it looks like when they update the Nav files it will come with a Gracenote update also. So far Navteq doesn't list the 2010 for an update on their website.

I was under the impression it does the update via the Sirius Link.

Here's a work around for CDs that aren't in the CDDB. You'll need the latest version of iTunes.

1. Use iTunes to rip the CD. iTunes calls this "importing". I recommend using WAV lossless format. iTunes should recognize the CD and fill in all the album/track info. If it doesn't, you'll need to enter that info yourself.

2. Create a playlist with the tracks from the CD.

3. Tell iTunes to burn the playlist. It give you a few options before you begin. Make sure CD TEXT is ON.

4. After the CD is burned, it should have all the info for tracks/album stored on it. The Jukebox program can read this data and will use it when recording.

I do not know if iTunes will burn album art onto the disc, nor do I know if Jukebox will read album art off of a CD. This will at least get you access to the album, track and artist information without having to key it in on the nav screen. I'm using re-writable discs because there are a LOT of my CDs not in the data base.

Please Ford, update your Gracenote database for us!

I have also found that you can manually type in and change the album info, no cover art, but at least the artist and song name show up.
I don't remember how I got there off the top of my head, but will look into it if anyone is interested.
