dmode101 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I just got my F90BT and I noticed none of my album art from my Ipod Classic 160gig is showing up on the unit. I was able to resolve this problem by using Itunes to sync my music back to my Ipod. But I absolutely HATE Itunes, so I use MediaMonkey to manage and sync my music instead. I did find another thread here that mentioned missing art when using MediaMonkey instead of Itunes. Has anyone found a resolution to the problem yet or must I use Itunes to get my art to show up on my F90BT? Would changing the Pioneer Ipod cable out to an official "Apple"cable help If we can get enough user feedback on this issue, we can direct the MediaMonkey developers to this thread and possibly have them resolve this for us. Please, FREE ME FROM ITUNES!! Thanks for everyones feedback! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wildwill Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Electrically, the Apple cable and the Pioneer cable are functionally the same. The Pioneer cable is manufactured in China, and there have been some quality issues with the Pioneer cable. I'm not aware of a solution to getting the album art work to display, when the iPod was synced with MediaMonkey. I just started using MediaMonkey, so I hope a fix is in the works. Did you use the audio leveling feature? And did it remain after you re-synced your iPod with iTunes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dianebrat Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 The cable has nothing to do with your issue, Nor is the fact that you're using Media Monkey to transfer the music, it's the managing and ripping of the music where the issue is coming in. The issue is that your artwork for the MP3 itself isn't right, and that's something that itunes normally tries to fix for you. There are other album art repair programs out there, the key is making sure they embed the artwork in the MP3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmode101 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 All my album art is embedded, no external images. Media Monkey must be doing something slightly different than the Avic wants. FYI - I bought a 2009 Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD unit, then returned it due to the overall cost (my F90BT was cheaper!). But my album art worked on that unit perfectly using Media Monkey. That unit also uses a different Ipod cable than the Avic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmode101 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I just found a related thread below on the MediaMonkey forums. I'll post a followup thread on the issue to see if they have made any progress. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =0&sk=t&sd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
07Shelby Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I read the MM thread and it doesn't sound like they've made much progress. If you find a fix let us know. I'm jumping on the iPod bandwagon for my F700. Long time user of MM, so want to use it for synching if possible. Of course I want album art on my F700 too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
07Shelby Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Re-synced with Winamp and artwork now displays on my F700. I'll have to say goodbye to the Monkey until this known limitation is fixed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmode101 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I posted a thread on the MediaMonkey Beta forum. Please post your comments about them needing to fix this here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=38227 I know there are several MM users here, let our voices be heard!
