Hello — this is a question about cover/album art. I copy my mp3 files to a usb drive so I can listen/play the tracks in the car. It seems that cover art is not displayed on some of the tracks and is on others. It seems that the mp3 files where I see the art, the file size of the mp3 is small – but the mp3 where they don’t the jpg files size is much larger. Is there a way to reduce the size of the jpg file? Does anyone know if there is a size max for this car system to show the album art of a mp3 file?

You may want to check the car manual to see if there is a size limit. I would also check the embedded art format type. If these are jpg images, make sure they aren't saved as progressive jpg. Many players have a hard time with progressive images.
