The EVO 75/150 is not displaying the CD's album artwork or track data

  • The EVO CD uses a music database called ‘Music Brainz’ to retrieve cover artwork and track information. If you are playing a CD that doesn’t display its album artwork or data, this will be because the album/release is not in the Music Brainz database. 

    You can add an album/release to the Music Brainz database by firstly creating an account on the Music Brainz website here, and then following the relevant steps via their 'How to contribute' page here. You will be able to add an artistalbum or song to their database.
