Sony NAC HD1E. Has anyone tried out to update the cddb (gracenote) database already existent on HDD?

 This would be interesting......

Sony stopped paying licence fees to Neilson (Gracenote) getting on for ten years ago.

 

I'd be surprised if you can get access.

Fortunely it works on this device for now, when getting from CD or from optical in.

Sorry, I should have added the words "for many devices (and Sonicstage)". Great that it still works! What I have noticed is that if it had already downloaded info in its database from Gracenote, then inserting the CD will find it just fine. I had less luck with a brand new CD where it had to go out to the Gracenote Server.

 

It's too bad that more CD makers never got aligned with the CD-Text possibility. I'm always delighted when a CD turns out to have the information already on it 🙂
