Discover media - contacts photos and music album art?

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

I don't think it would be that Mark neither do I think it would be anything to do with the different phones we have. This one might have to remain a mystery

I converted my whole ITunes collection to SD card and ensured all had covers as did so and this card includes DAB icons also (as think from what understand that will need to upload some) and have 2 fully loaded I Pod can use so it seems it will be a case of try it and see - You would think this is something that would be more universal as imagine most here are quite good with this sort of thing and yet still struggle to understand and overcome some of the inconsistencies, so imagine how the less technical would cope?

Will let you know how get on

tomorrow im going to put some music onto my sd card, am i right in thinking this is the way to do it?

Create folders on the card named after the albums e.g.:Foo Fighters. Then drag and drop the music from my itunes into these folders, will this work then on the gti?

I don't think iTunes embedds the images into the MP3 tracks so you will not have pictures unless you use one of  the tools in this thread to embeds them.

Ok thanks so i will also have to add jpg to the folder's , nice one

[lawrie]

Adding jpg's to the folders will not help.

Depending on how you got your music, iTunes has some mp3's with embedded images and some that has the image stored in a folder.

When you copy your iTunes music to a sd disk or phone the discover pro only recognises embedded images (preferably less than 500x500)

A google search will show there are various ways to embed images for free

This costs £20

I bought it and it sorted my music collection (no link to firm:)

[Aidey]

Ahh right, ok thanks mate, i'll have to trial and error it all once the car arrives

Oh that's brilliant. I think I'll go that way rather than messing about with an SD card. Thanks for the info

Can you post a link to the item on Amazon please, Matchboy ? I have had a quick look and cannot see a red collared one. I did specify to the dealer that I wanted a red collared one, but he said there was only one sort and I got a blue collared one. Yes, he probably couldn't be arsed but if I can pick one up cheaply on Amazon, it's probably easier ...
