Hi All,

 

While I'm waiting for my delivery, anyone help me with my below question.

 

I've got an Octavia Mk3 at the moment and plug in a USB with all my albums on it. Media screen shows the album covers and let's you flick through them with a finger.

 

Every YouTube video etc for the Mk4 only shows media data in list form and mentions album art shows on dash display. 

 

Is there no way to show my albums on the main screen in the graphical album art view allowing me to scroll through the pictures? 

 

Like the attached

I doubt the Skoda system will find the album covers for you, so it depends on how the cover is stored on the USB. Might be a separate file? 

On my car the albums covers are on because I connect my phone up to it which already has them on. I’ll try and connect a USB with the raw MP3 files on to see if that works. 

 

I've got the album art embedded in the mp3s and they show like the above in my mk3.

 

Just want to know if the Mk4 infotainment system can display in same way. Makes the screen prettier than just a list of album names

I've got a USB stick with a load of albums on it and depending on how I saved them (not sure which way was wrong!) I get the album art showing when it's playing - it starts as a tracklist but usually after a couple of minutes the full screen thing pops across the infotainment screen displaying the graphics (or you can manually make it appear).  I can take some photos later if it helps...

 

The thing I don't like is that to scroll through the albums you have to vertically swipe a list of text, rather than the nice carousel of albums as in your photo above (which my wife's Fabia has).  Don't know if it's just me but I find trying to scroll up and down much harder than left/right especially if you have lots of albums.  As I've seem somewhere else here, in some ways it is safer to select the music before you start moving, as it's not so easy once you're on the move.

 

You can change album selection via one of the steering wheel controls but it's not massively easy (and times out/resets far to quickly, if say you have to stop scrolling for a minute to deal with traffic etc).

Thanks MCG1975, had a feeling it might just be list based to scroll through.

 

Is "Laura"/voice control any good at selecting albums? The mk3 version is shocking and can't understand basic words
