Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method of navigating audio compact discs utilizing voice commands. The system includes both in-vehicle components and off-vehicle components. In the vehicle are the compact disc player and a processor associated with the player and an optional local database of data relating to compact discs, such as the song titles, track numbers, etc. Off the vehicle is at least one remotely located database of compact disc information which is searched by the processor via a link, such as a wireless network or the Internet. The user would insert a compact disc and describe the desired song, with the processor searching the databases for data relating to the compact disc and a matching description of the song to be played. When a match is found, the song is played and if no match is found, then the system defaults to conventional navigation controls.
