Gracenote Enhances Toyota Entune Music Experience

Gracenote music recognition technology, metadata and licensed Album Cover Art help make it easier for Toyota drivers to enjoy and manage their digital music collection with Toyota Entune™ - enabled multimedia systems.

Enhanced Voice Recognition

Toyota Entune is a revolutionary multimedia system that lets Toyota drivers and passengers use voice and touch commands to connect to popular apps and interact with their music on mobile devices.

Since many drivers now have thousands of songs stored on their mobile phones and portable media devices, Toyota realized it was critical to have a voice recognition system developed specifically for searching and navigating large music collections. Gracenote improves voice recognition for music search, letting Toyota drivers access their favorite artists and albums with more accuracy, especially for hard to pronounce names, irregular spellings and nicknames.

Play “More Like This”

To help drivers hear more of the music they love, Gracenote More Like This associates detailed Genre, Origin, Artist Type and Tempo information with the driver’s music collection, letting them create similar music playlists spanning multiple genres.

For instance, if a driver is listening to The Clash – “Rock the Casbah,” they can simply say “Play More Like This” to hear similar artists and music from the band’s Artist Type (Male Group), Genre (e.g. Classic British Punk), Origin (London), Era (1970s) and Tempo (Beats Per Minute).

The Entune-enabled system is an available feature in select 2013 model year Toyota vehicles.
