In fact I have one 2-CD Set (GNR Live) where the album and track information was retrieved correctly for Disc 1, but when I recorded Disc 2, it picked up all the album and track names from Disc 1. For this one, I entered the Disc 2 album and track names manually.
I am still not sure if this data is being retrieved from the CD's themselves, or from an onboard Gracenote DB.
If the system does have a Gracenote DB on the hard drive, does Infiniti have any plan to provide updates?

My SOW has correctly identified every disc with tracknames I've put in except one.

There are two ways to encode CD Text information and iTunes only uses one way (iTunes version 7 - in Edit, Preferences, Advanced, Burning, Click CD Text). So, even though you select this option, it appears the new G's CD player does not read the CD text that iTunes has burnt. That's why some CD's will show the CD text, while others will not (depending on the way the CD text was encoded). Roxio Toast (a CD burning program) burns CD's using both text encoding options).
Hope this helps.

MP3's will not play from CD changer, only in-dash CD.
I recommend using the Compact Flash if you have Nav, it works great. It's fast, displays Artist, Album, Title info, can organize into folders (only one level deep, I do it by album), you don't have to do the slow 4x rip in you car (just copy from PC), and you can use higher bit rates than the Music Box 132bps for better sound quality. Get two 4GB CF cards, and you'll have nearly as much capacity as the internal HD.
Only downside of CF is you don't get all the cool-to-show-off features of Music Box, such as Play-By-Mood.
I use Windows Media Player 10/11 to rip CD's, and the Artist, Album, and Track info that gets automatically downloaded from the internet and encoded to the MP3 shows up fine.
