One of the first albums/songs I loaded on to my SD card was Frank Sinatra - I did it my way, just so I could play it as I was driving out the dealership  :grin: :grin:

And I'm not kidding

10/10 for cheese factor. I have a while to plan my " first dance " tune. Might do a mix specially for the pick up  :grin:

Haha!  I drove out of the dealership in silence so I could hear the purr of the engine and the exhaust notes ( and the tyres screech as I laid a line of rubber as a big FU to VW  :grin:

First track I listened to was Axis by Pet Shop Boys.

Sorry to resurrect this thread - but I need some help! So I've got this courtesy Golf and thought I'd try out the SD card bit to see if I can get the artwork appearing on the screen. So I created some folders on the card and then just dragged the songs from iTunes into these folders. They all play fine in the car, but no artwork. Now I think they are in mpa4 format (????) - so my question is how do I get the pictures to come up??

Any help, in basic plain English, would be most appreciated!! I've read through this thread but there's so much jargon I haven't got a scooby!

Thanks in advance!

I think the tracks need to have the artwork embedded in them - do you know if they do?  Think there is a link to a tool in this thread where you can add the artwork to the track.

I've no idea, if they've been bought through iTunes then they should have - shouldn't they??

Hi Mark,

I downloaded a music converter application which was free. I then dragged my iTunes songs over to the converter to automayically change them to mp3 format. I then had to find pictures of the album covers on google and copy and paste them into the converter (there was a box for each song on the converter for album artwork). This worked fine but it was time consuming and there must have been a quicker way

Thanks Crag, I might try that. I tried doing what the link to the YouTube video about the A1 artwork - and it didn't work! Why these things just don't work straight away I don't know but at least I have a project to keep me busy until my car turns up  :grin:
