Edit:



A work-around would be to convert the CD-audio to MP3 files (or other supported format).
Then the import is supposed to work like this:

Another jukebox question. I have no problem downloading burned music to my Jukebox. After burning, windows media gives me an option to title the burned CD. I proceed to title the CD I just burned and download it into the jukebox. It works fine except the title does not show up in the jukebox; just the date the cd was downloaded into the jukebox. Does anyone know how to title the cd in windows media player so it holds and shows up correctly in the jukebox?

No, but I can quote from the same page in the owners manual:
"— Files or tracks without additional stored information
are listed as Unknown. Audi recommends adding additional information (such as ID3 tags) to audio files."

Files with the same Album information in the tag can then be sorted as a group.

Seems like.a.lot of work, first I have to load CDs In the laptop and upload to convert to.mp3s and store in a SD card or USB then I can upload to Jukebox. CDs won't directly load to Jukebox?

If you have windows,, en windows media player is built in. Just out the cd in and click RIP on the toolbar. I'd recommend changing the quality in the settings to maximum, 320 kbps

Thanks it worked. Took awhile. Would be a lot easier if it ripped straight from the CDs.

Yes, but on the plus side a compressed and data reduced format (like MP3) means the Jukebox can store a lot more music than it would in 'wav' format.

Thanks for the tips guys. I just ripped an iTunes playlist to DVD and it uploaded to Jukebox (2013 A8) fine, albeit slowly, and Jukebox recognized the artists.
About ten seconds later, this thought: Why not just rip five more DVDs and leave them in the CD player (200 songs per CD x 6)?!
I don't like fiddling with my iPhone while I drive but not sure Jukebox is necessary either - do I really need to upload 3,000 songs?
