Default MP3 album art requirements

OK I have cover art embedded in all my MP3 files yet some display on the screen and some do not. I thought it was the size of the cover art so I used Bliss to resize anything above 500x500 to that size max, yet some still show on screen and others don't. Is there some sort of requirements for the MMI to show the cover art that I am missing? Right now I am at about 85% success, but being the perfectionist I am I want them all to show.

Have you checked the file size of the embedded artwork? I believe there's a limit to that as well (although, offhand, I don't remember what it is). Some album art is saved with very low compression (large file size). You may have to re-save and re-embed.

AH! Let me check that, as that makes sense since I made sure they were all under a dimension, but not a specific file size.

I think the manual states 800x800 should work (unless my vision is bad), but I haven't gotten anything above the typical 600x600 to work. Make sure you remove the embedded larger file sizes too. I usually do it in 2 steps (remove & save, re-insert and save) just to be safe.

Figured I would share what I found. I used Bliss to re-size all my album art to 500x500 and to not exceed 64K file size and then put everything back on the SD and loaded into the HDD in the MMI and perfect, every song has tag info and album art showing perfectly.
