I think there's a bug that makes this impossible to do.

Only a few of my album art displays, the rest is just empty. iTunes works fine with it, but the w880 does not. And it's really inconsistent, because all files have the same ID tag version and similarly sized album art images.

There's a bug for sure.

When I first copied albums across I couldn't figure out the inconsistent album art either -- with a mix of MP3 and M4A albums where the art was definately present. For the record, I'd been using PhatNoise Media Manager to imbed the art which I could verify on the PC and also on my car's head-unit.

Anyhoo... after some fiddling all my album art is fixed on the W880i but I don't know the root cause 100% Incidentally I also now use http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ to imbed art.

It appears that art which is of a fair size (pixels or file size, can't be certain) the W880i just doesn't like. A lot of art that I get off the web seems to come down in circa 170 x 170 res. and the W880i never has a problem with these. Having resized the problem art accordingly, I've now got ALL
album art showing.

An example of album art that my W880i didn't like was 953 x 953 and 145KB. An example of art it DID like was 710 x 710 but only 60KB so I'm guessing it's either the file size or a combination of file size AND large res. which can push it over the edge.

Sorry for the long post but hope this info helps.

Jonts.
