Music Collection
For the first time in a BMW vehicle, a music collection can be saved on an internal hard disk drive and accessed through its own sub-menu. The music collection feature is found under the CD/Multimedia menu of the CIC.
A music search function has been implemented, which searches for information (metadata) on the individual music tracks (artist, album, etc.). A hard drive-based track database (Gracenote®) provides further information to the music track (metadata).
NOTE:
Metadata storage is a separate function to the conversion process from Digital Audio CD to a WMA file format which allows the system to perform a music search.
