You get the "album art" displayed on the screen if the image is embedded in the audio file. I have all my music ripped from CDs and stored in lossless FLAC format on a file server at home, and go through a batch process of converting to MP4 files and adding the album art when I copy music to a USB stick to use in the car. I use "dbPowerAmp Batch Converter" with a stored profile that sets the MP4 sample rate, and embeds the image from the stored "folder.jpg" album art into each MP4 file as it creates it. It works a treat to use in the X1. I bought several coloured small lanyards to attach to the very small USB drives, and have colour-coded sticks to choose depending on what mood I'm in
