Hi. Here's what I got working on I-Drive:
- 32 GB thumb drive
- FAT32 formatting
- 4,900 songs
- MP3 files with embedded album art
- Album art from 300 x 300 to 1500 x 1500
- No sub-folders and no non-MP3 files (no iTunes Library files)
- MP3 files copied using Windows File Manager (not iTunes)
It took about 15 minutes for I-Drive to recognize all MP3s so I couldn't see all the songs/artists immediately. After that initial read, everything was normal. All album art visible.
Using thumb drives, I-Drive will still display songs alphabetically on the dashboard scroll display even when I-Drive is set to random play. So you never see the next actual song on the scroll display. When playing from an iPod you see the next "random" song. Probably because iPods create a "random" playlist when you select shuffle play.
I hope this helps.
