For those of you who are still old school and buy CDs, anyone know how to go online and add Album information when it's not included on the CD at download?

It used to be really simple on previous versions of ID, such as ID4 which the 330e has, but can't for the life of me find out how to do it on the M4 which runs ID6 (I think).

Any help appreciated.

I use this to setup the meta tags, and include album art for my NAS stored mp3s and flacs. Also for any files I load into my BMW.

It has inbuilt online database lookups for track and album info.

I think the general convention is to have the image named folder.jpg in the folder for most media players.

I thought the Idrive used the car’s SIM to connect to Gracenote or used an embedded Gracenote database to give album info - nothing to do with anything on the cd?

Is it even possible to buy CD's anymore? I assumed they had stopped being made around 5 to 10 years ago!? :

I didn't think CDs had actually made it to Norfolk!

Indeed 4x the sample rate of even the best streaming and 8x the normal Spotify rate, you lose so much on a streamed song, listening to a CD on a decent home set up, CD transport and separate DAC, through some decent speakers and amp is a revelation if you've not experienced it.

Indeed. Having spent a tidy sum on my Audiolab system I very much like getting the most from it!

And given that when I buy a CD I get a free download anyway, it seems daft not too. I'd rather load them in the car as it's hassle free after that, as I'm always running out of room on my phone for music.
