Question about Album Art on Z120BT

Hey guys. I'm new to these forums. I am in the market for a new double din nav receiver for my car. I am one of those weirdo's that loves album art. So, here is my question. First off, I do not own an ipod, nor do I plan to purchase one. I use a flash drive on my current system (Kenwood KVT-514). This flash drive contains my entire music library. My current unit does have the following problems with my flash drive.

 

1) It's a 64gb drive, but will only allow me to access about 5gb of my music on the flash drive. What are the limits for that on the Z120BT

2) It will not display the album art from my flash drive. I've tried inserting a jpeg image of the album art into the music folder, and still with no luck. Will the Z120BT display my album art from the flash drive? Remember, I do not use, nor do I plan to use an ipod.

 

Thanks so much for the help guys. Just want to make sure I know exactly what I'm getting before making this purchase. Nice that there's a forum for support too.

Album art will only show when you use an iPod, period..

As I said...I have no interest in getting an ipod. Seems hard to believe that you can't display album art without having an ipod. Oh well, the search continues. Thanks.

I have dragged music files with album art from iTunes to a USB drive and it displayed as the iPod does. But that was on a Kenwood unit. Might be worth a try on this unit.

If anyone could try that, that would be fantastic. I actually have a Kenwood unit now, and I can't get the art to display from the flash drive.
