I just got the latest software version loaded to resolved some iDrive issues.

Today, I noticed for the first time that I now have CD track names when I'm playing CD on the In-Dash player, but the same CD in the Six CD Changer, no names! What's with that!

In Dash CD ...

Some of the above threads are over two years old...since many discs don't have the text, it might be that you're just noticing it now because you never had a disc with CD text playing in the in-dash slot?

I don't know about that. I find the CD changer sounds quite a bit better than the single player. Different DAC perhaps?

I thought of that, so the pictures are of the same CD being played on the In Dash and then again in the Six CD Changer, with the in dash showing track names and the Six CD changer with nothing.

That's the way it works for me. I get names for audio CD's in the single slot. As I recall, I get garbaged names when playing MP3s--which I found to be a waste of what's left of my still pretty decent hearing.

Too right - the clash !!!!!!! I .... live by the river ... yeah !

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared - and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard,you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the reign of that truncheon thing

CHORUS
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
Cause London is burning and I, I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go at it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out - and draw another breath
London calling - and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

CHORUS x2
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river

Now get this
London calling, yes, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
London Calling

I never felt so much alike, like-a, like-a...
