New one ordered, I will find the other one tonight no doubt.
  :rolleyes:
Gizmo Heaven: 32Gb, Class 10 SDHC Sandisk Ultra. £15.15 with the discount code “G5” which is supposed to only work with Kingston products, but seems to work with everything (all brands of SD cards at least).

You'll go to put the new one in your laptop and find that that's where you left the old one  :grin:

Do try to keep track of current posts and replies so apologies if mentioned already.

Have a huge stockpile of Apple goods it seems even after selling a few on, and amongst them are a standard 3rd Gen Ipod and Ipod Touch of which I just updated to my full music library.

Now I have already prepared my SD card but have no idea if it will work with all covers till get my GTD next month but could I just not permanently connect one of these IPods and get the full experience? or does it have to be a more up to date Ipod on a newer IOS?

Also if I was to Bluetooth my Iphone would there be any conflict having the Ipod permanently connected?

If my iphone is connected via the lead it does not show the artwork. That only happens via the sd card after some tinkering. As for if you have the iPod connected and your phone on Bluetooth you will be able to switch between the two, they don't cancel each other out for example.

Strange Mark. I'm pretty sure when I tried connecting my iphone via the lead that it did display the artwork. Ill double check

Did it?! I will double check mine too as that would be good if it did!

I've double checked by plugging my iPhone into the cable and I don't get any artwork. It's a 5 with iOS 7, don't know if that makes any difference?

Just checked again. There is definitely some artwork appearing when I connect via the lead but there are inconsistencies. I'm using an iPhone 4 with ios7.

I thought at first it was perhaps just showing the artwork that was preloaded onto the sd card when I played one of the songs it recognised but then I tried a few other albums on the phone that weren't on the card and it was showing the artwork.

However there were other songs where it was showing nothing and even some songs when they were playing were showing the details of the song previously played. A bit confused

There's definitely a delay between the song it's playing and the writing on the screen if you skip forward, I noticed that too.  No delay from sd card.

I tried songs bought from iTunes and songs put on from cd into iTunes and neither worked. Maybe it only shows artwork from non iTunes stuff ie. tracks bought from amazon for example? I am also confused!  :laugh:

All my songs have been bought from iTunes so I don't think it can be that. I would doubt its something to do with standard media unit and pro but you never know

Maybe you get it cause you have the Pro? I only have the standard Nav.
