Did you get the tour sampler that came with Dave @ Piedmont?

For what it's worth to anyone else, I did install this update today with no problems. It took about 20 minutes.

MyGig now recognizes the Eagle's new album, "Long Road Out Of Eden", when I use the "import from disk" option. It wasn't able to recognize it before the update. I think that album was released in Nov '07.

Can someone verify that all the files contained in the .ZIP file should be off the root of the CD/USB Drive? There's suppose to be no folder structure, right?

There is suppose to be folder structure.

You should have a folder and a single file in the root of the cd.

CAUTION: This file is huge, you will need to burn it to DVD or get a 1G USB key to transfer it to your MyGIG.

applying this update is much like the software update posted by ktrash on this site.

1. Download the zip
2. uzip to a directory on your system.
3. Burn the txt file and the directory (GNDB) onto a DVD
4. Pop it in your mygig, and select update.
5. enjoy new music with song titles.
SpinningBull, you are THE man.

My old outdated gracenote database was driving me nuts

Will a 1gb memory stick work just as well? I am downloading the update as we speak. Let me know if I can do it this way

I tried using a usb memory stick when I installed the last MyGig update and it didn't work so I doubt the Gracenotes update would be any different. Burn it to DVD.

I tried burning the gracenotes update to a 4.7GB DVD and the shiate didn't work. The damn thing told media the media was unreadable/unrecognized.

I don't think the USB drive works for either the gracenotes/MyGig OS update. I think they both must be burned to a CD/DVD.

Like Spinningbull says, you probably do have to make sure the DVD is closed out or "finalized" so that it can't be written to again. MyGig probably doesn't recognize DVD's that are still "open". It could also be the quality of DVD you are using.

I used Nero and a Office Depot DVD and chose the option to make a "data" DVD.

Can anyone that has gotten the update to work let me know what screen prompts you got? I have been trying to get the update to install for about 45 minutes now and all I get is a "reading .... " prompt. Nothing else, and the disc will not eject ... grrrr
