I am wrestling with this because I want artwork to work properly in my car (using BMW iDrive).
I have previously been using an iPod Classic, which treated artwork perfectly with no "no-shows", but it's a known problem that iPod Classics are prone to freezing in BMWs so I am trying to migrate to a USB flash drive. Of my appr. 15,000 tracks, I'd say about 5% show up with no artwork, but I just can't figure out what causes this and why I am unable to fix it. Here's what I've found out from my own testing:
- I've identified the tracks affected and put them in a playlist (they are both AAC and mp3 and both types seem to be affected equally badly)
- I've reviewed these tracks in tagr (Mac) and mp3tag (Windows in Fusion). In the beginning, most of these would show artwork in tagr, but many would be blank in mp3tag. Through trying to fix this in iTunes, I've now come to a point where all these tracks show artwork in both tagr and mp3tag (although I notice that the cover differs between being labeled as front or other in mp3tag)
- However, when bringing these tracks to the car, most still do not show artwork, and I've been playing around with various ways (in iTunes, to avoid risking corrupting the library) to fix this:
- Delete the artwork and re-paste it - seems to have no effect
- Delete and use the Add artwork button to locate both png and jpg files - no effect
- Convert ID3tag, first to none, then to various versions (2.4, 2.3, 2.2), then add artwork - this can in some cases fix it, but certainly not always
- Use the DougScript Re-embed artwork - no effect
So I am truly puzzled at both how iTunes handles the artwork and how the car reads artwork since this seems so random! Does anyone have insights that could help?
