Title: Gracenote update
Post by: Deepjoy22 on December 21, 2017, 05:52:11 pm

I've just spotted a new version of Gracenote via the Mazda web site.  Version 8 (for EU) dated Oct 2017.

Mazda link is:

Thanks for that but am I missing something because the notes accompanying Gracenote state - "The Gracenote media database improves voice recognition of artists and album names". I don't recall any artists or album names being announced with any CD's that I play although the track name do appear in the display.

I think that means that it has improved recognition of voice commands from the driver/passenger. Not that announcements would be made through the audio system.  That would be really annoying. 

Although you would need voice control over your unit as some vehicles / systems have, in order to make best use of this upgrade
