Hi,

Picked up my new 108 yesterday and am loving it so far. I have my full itunes library on a 32gb usb stick and it works perfectly for playing songs and browsing by artist, album etc.. When playing a song via the USB device there is space on the left hand side which is currently just shows a picture of a USB Stick. It looks suspiciously like this this space should be used to display the album artwork/cover and I do remember the dealer mentioning something about album artwork. Has anyone managed to get this working or know how to go about it. The artwork shows ok in iTunes and I copied the whole itunes Music Library folder over onto the USB Stick. This folder contains a folder called 'Album Artwork' but it still doesn't show the artwork in the car. Music plays perfectly but would be great If I can get the artwork working too.
Also on a second note. In the settings on the touch screen there is an option to load a picture to display on the welcome screen when it starts up. Has anyone done this? It says the image is searched for on the USB. I have put pictures on mine but they are not found when I try searching for them. Instead a message come up saying something like 'images not found consult the handbook for which image types are supported' can't find any info in the handbook though.

Thanks for any help.

I get album artwork ok off my iPod without having to do anything. Never used a USB stick to do it.

Managed to sort the artwork issue. I downloaded some software that cleans up the itunes library and adds all artwork to the mp3 files. Which I transfered to USB and all artwork is working showing now.
Still havn't got the welcome picture working though.

Which software? Glad you found a solution.

I used http://www.tuneupmedia.com. I had to pay for it but it solved my problem so didn't mind too much. Have been told you can find free software that does the same job though.

Interesting, how do you find the USB music? Is it easy to find what you want? I've used USB's in the past but it can be a pain depending on the vehicle...

Yeah I am finding it really good. I am using a 32gb stick which contains nearly 4000 songs. You can search by song, artist, album etc... very easily using the touch screen so no problem finding what your looking for and now all my artwork is displaying correctly I am loving it. Only thing I havn't been able to do is create playlists on the USB. Not sure if this is possible??

You can attach the file to some mp3 song you used to be able to try it in my 108, because I did but all attempts have failed to bring up the image of the singer.
thanks

Hi,

I,ve tried the some way but without any luck. Any thoughts to what I'm possible doing wrong?

Do you not have to have the artwork in the same folder as the album?

If you don't want to pay for software to clean your library up this is a good free alternative: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

Also not 100% but I think the artwork needs to be 500x500 or less.

Just purchased a Citroen C1, 2016 with touchscreen.

After researching and trying all sorts of settings, I have found the following works.

Use free software such as http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

It's really good and easy to use.

Ensure the album artwork is attached to the files as jpeg no more than 300x300 resolution.

All my albums on my usb stick are showing perfectly now.
