So as some of you know, I recently installed a Pioneer AVH 3300BT and it's been my toy as I keep trying different things and finding out new stuff about it - some stuff annoying and some stuff awesome.

I have a couple questions but I also noticed there are threads about tips for the LS (like how to roll the windows down with keyfob/turn off seatbelt chime/etc.) and I know a lot of you guys run double dins so I was wondering if you would post the unit you have, any tips/tricks you've found, or any other helpful info - pros/cons.


I'm currently using a 64GB Patriot Rage Flashdrive (which I would recommend btw) and have it about halfway full with all of my music. After I put it into the USB slot, it takes a good 30+ seconds to read all the files and start playing (which I kinda expect since there's so much). I know there isn't a fix for that, but one thing has been annoying me.

All my music is separated into folders and labeled like: "Metallica - Black"
In the folder are the songs from that album obviously but I also have a JPEG of the album art. If I hit the "media" button the deck I can scroll through the pics or movies or whatever, but I would prefer just having the album art appear as the background when I am listening to music from that folder. I'm not a huge fan of the preselected backgrounds Pioneer offers and I know I can set an image as a background, but when I do, that image doesn't change when I change the folder.


I tried to Google search and go on Pioneer's website and I read the manual from front to back but can't seem to find an answer.....


Also, I saw some splash screens (I think from Drizzle) on here and was wondering where you're using them or if you're just using them as the background?
 
most players do a very basic job with raw MP3's, maintaining folder structure is a pain in the ass, and file names are the hardest thing to keep uniform due to so many different ways to rip. also no album art support. you should try a ipod instead, not 100% sure on the AVH's, but the AVIC's all show album art and the ipod does a much better job sorting and filtering music because it uses the tag info.
