    A little background first. All of my music is originally ripped to FLAC for my home sound system. While ripping the music I made sure all the ID tags were correct and that I had a Folder.jpg for the album art thumbnail. That being said...


    I then converted about 1800 songs to MP3 to play on a USB drive in my car. I have a 2015 Challenger with the 8.4 UConnect radio. This just recently started. It seems like every other song the album art doesn't display. Just gives me the generic thumbnail with the music note. I have taken the USB drive and plugged in to my computer and when I play the same songs in VLC or Windows Media Player the album art does display.


    Anyone have or had the same issue? Is there a way to reset the 8.4 radio short of pulling the battery cable?

    Found the problem...

    For those of you who are interested and may run in to this problem down the road, I found what the problem is.

    I made a list of four songs that displayed properly and four that didn't display the art work. Using an ID Tag Editor I noticed that the art work did display was 750 x 750 pixels. The art work that didn't display was either 1000 x 1000 or 1080 x 1080. Apparently there is a size limit on the album art that can be displayed. I have some songs that have a 953 x 953 resolution and those display fine.

    So in conclusion I will make sure the art work I import in to the ID tag isn't any bigger than 953 x 953.
