sorry. i should have mentioned that this is using the sd card
No that's not normal, it should show in the normal display too.
I think this may depend on whether you have the Tech pack or not. I've tried it with my A3 and it does the same as the OP - can't see a way of changing settings for the normal display. All artwork is fine in reduced display though.
Standard MMI doesn't have as fully featured media functionality as far as I can see.
artwork is fine on my standard MMI , reduced or normal! Whether it makes a difference my mp3's are not download through iTunes so I add album art myself?
Yes - I get the above display if I select 'functions' and get it in the reduced display. However, it looks very different to the tech pack display in Vertigo's images (below).
I did the same as you and added album art manually.
Everyone should be getting the above view even in the non Tech Pack MMI. I tried my SD cards that I use in my current car in the 8v A3 S Line I borrowed from Huddersfield Audi and the artwork appeared just fine on every track like the above pic. The artwork on mine has been reduced to 300x300 pixels though from when I had my A1 which had the same MMI as the 8v.
The A1 manual actually told you the size the artwork had to be to display properly; does the A3 one not mention this?
What it sounds like you're getting here if I understand correctly is a grey box with a question mark in it? You should be getting the artwork displaying in this. If you aren't then it may be because the artwork size is too large. Like I said; in the Audi A1 owners manual it actually told you the artwork size for it to display correctly so would assume that the new A3 manual it would do the same.
I would do a test with one of your tracks or albums with a 300x300 pixel pic in it and take it from there.

All; watch this. This is what you should be getting and forgot to ask about the file types you're using on your SD cards as that may be the issue.
Hope this solves your problems anyhow...

Hi Mark, I'm not sure what you mean with 'normal view' and the different ones you mention. What I saw on the MMI in the A3 I borrowed from my SD cards is what it shows in that video with the artwork showing to the right of the track information.
