What in-dash system are you using?
The offending system is that of a 2016 Toyota Tundra; it has a
software switch to defeat display of the album cover.
While it is possible to embed information in an MP3 file, one
has to do so affirmatively, and the space is quite limited.
Understood. And I know that there are about three or four versions of
ID tag. The "id3tool" man page speaks of version 1.1 and version 1.0.
But after reading the id3 tag wikipedia page, the eyed man page, and
the picard man page, I am confused, and do not know which, if any, id3
tags I need for this application. At present, experimentation is a
bit difficult, because of 100+F daytime temperatures and carnivorous
horseflies once darkness falls.
Much more likely is that the stereo system is either:
reading images from the USB stick in a slide-show mode
I formatted the stick (which is 8Gb) before writing the files.
or looking up "albums" via a web service and trying to display the
covers.
The Tundra does have a GSP navigation system integrated into the
in-dash radio. But I am aware of no accounts. And my cellular stays
powered down and in my briefcase. Moreover, my lecture series names
likely do not match any music album names.
