Album artwork - got it working on USB
My music library is maintained on iTunes on a Mac. I have cover art at 600x600 resolution embedded in each AAC file. In my VW, 600x600 is the max cover art resolution, so that's how I set everything up originally, if the resolution wasn't already at or below that threshold. A lot of new stuff in iTunes has much higher resolution artwork. In those cases I "shrink" the image, then add the smaller image to the files before exporting for use in my VW.
Now the M2c comes along. I export everything to a USB stick, and all is well except no album art. Some quick Googling seems to indicate that NBT Evo/id6 supports up to 500x500 resolution. Whoops. How to fix this in some automated fashion that won't take forever? I found a solution. It involves exporting via Export for iTunes (a cheap app store program for MacOS, I think I paid $6) and Tag Editor, a not-so-cheap app but also has a free version and that let me do what I needed to do. If anyone else is in this situation and wants details, reply and I'll elaborate further on the steps involved. It was easy, but very specific to using these particular tools.

I usually just used the built in Gracenote online function to locate album info for my CDs that sometimes dont download with it. Works for about 90% of them
