Music Register - COMAND
Hey guys! I was wondering if there is any way in the COMAND where I could transfer music stored in the music register to other folders inside the music register as well.
i.e. transfer a song from the folder "Jazz" to the folder "Blues"...
is there any way to do that or when you transfer a song to the register, it cannot be moved from the original folder?
Thanks!

I just found out last week that if you transfer MP3's the song/artist info will NOT be displayed. It's more time consuming but I started making audio CD's so the info will be displayed. Even though I begin to subliminally memorize the song order of the folders I filled with MP3's.
You can select the tracks you want to transfer you don't have to do the entire CD. I haven't transferred between folders yet.

How to register music:
load a CD. It can be a MP3 CD. If possible, divide the song genres/albuns or whatever into folders inside the MP3 CD when burning. Those divisions will be the divisions in the music register.
go to the "muisc register" in the COMAND menu.
on the bottom left corner of the screen (if i recall) there's a "music register" menu. There you'll find an option to "copy music files". Choose that.
COMAND will open a screen where you can choose the music folders that you want to copy to the register. It is only possible - as far as I know - to copy entire folders. Check the folders you want to copy and then choose "continue".
There. It will begin to copy. DO NOT turn off the car or the COMAND or it will interrupt the copy process.
You can change the song names and folder names and delete individual songs. But, as far as I know, you cannot move a song from one folder to another once in the register. You cannot add more songs to an already created folder too. You can create sub-folders, at most. (like: ROOT/ROCK/AUDIOSLAVE and ROOT/ROCK/ACDC).
That's it... i guess.

weird... I'll check that out tonight and get back to you guys. My C63 is euro-spec, but I guess the COMAND software is almost the same. No?

As for storing the music onto the Music Register (hard drive), it's so simple I'm surprised you guys are having problems with it.
1. Insert music CD
2. CD will start playing automatically
3. Hit the "Rec" button on the screen using the COMAND knob
4. Choose the tracks you wish to record ("All tracks" is chosen by default)
5. Hit "Continue"
6. Hit "Destination Folder" button
7. Choose an existing folder or create a new one (name it)
8. Hit "Start"
Voila! That's all there is to it!

thanks for the info. the steps you've listed work fine if its a music CD i.e. CDA format. it doesnt work if I insert a MP3 CD since the "rec" option doesn't show up. it may be related to a music copyright restriction here in the US.

will have to try it out again. when i insert a CD, i could burn it to the HDD but it took quite a while. the issue is when i insert a MP3 CD, it doesnt give me option to "rec" or "copy music". would really appreciate if you can post a couple of screenshots when you burn a MP3 CD to HDD next time around. thanks a lot for all your help.

What is even interesting is that my wife's 2009 SLK does MP3s and does not do audio CDs.
