CD player not updating Album saved

Grumpyphil · 11-09-2019, 06:35 AM

My 2015 X3, I’ve added a couple of Elton John CDs to my player, I found the names etc via Gracenote, and it saved. But now when I search for them I can’t find them. Putting the cd back in it says “already saved”. One was Captain and the Kid, any ideas? I can’t find it to delete and try again. Stuck.

When you say "the player" do you mean the car's hard drive? If so, I think your issue is that the particular CD is not coded with album name and info, so you need to name it. Some CDs will display album art, album name and song title. Some will not display album art, but will display album name and song title. Others display nothing at all, and just say "unknown artist" and "unknown track." But they play fine. If you name the CD, it will just be so you can find it in the directory. What you name it will still not display on the screen. To find it, click the media button on your controller, then click on the magnifying glass labelled "music search" then in the next screen click on "browse directory". They will be listed under some generic name like CD2 or something.

And once you find it, you can manually name it.
