Album Art Distored or Missing

This seems to be hit or miss; my iPod Classic has this problem, but my 3GS did not until I recently updated my album in iTunes.

The album art is embedded in the ID3 tag of the MP3 file for all of my music. The album art displays fine on my computer, and on the iPhone display, but recently, when connected to my AVIC 710, the art is all pixelated, as if it were being blown up, and some album art is even displayed as missing even though I am able to see the jpg exists on the iPod.

 

Has anyone else seen this?

Common complaint, and it has to do with the way the iphone/ipod touch present the album art to the AVIC, for some reason in some situations it uses the lowest resolution thumbnail for both small and large images.

 

When you look at it on the PC and in itunes it's fine. Other then resetting the album art there really isn't a solution, and the iphone and ipod touch almost always present the art more poorly then the straight up ipods.

Hmm, glad to know I'm not the only one. It's weird though, it was working for months, then poof. It's not that big of a deal I suppose, and certainly not, when compared to all the other problems I've been having with this AVIC.

 

Thanks for the reply!
