Nice!Yes.... though mine still often 'forgets' where it was before. I think it has to do with how much the car "shuts down". A quick trip into a store it does fine remembering. Overnight, with charging, not so much. Also...it still pausesbetween every song, even when there's no pause in the original recording. Still a pretty antiquated USB player... but I'm ecstatic about having art again

Not "long" pauses. It's a very small pause, but it's between EVERY track, even on albums that have NO pause at all in the original recording. So, an album like Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon , where each song flows into the next, with no pause, has an artificial pause between every track. It's not the formatting. If I playback on my home computer, or in any other vehicle, it doesn't do that. Only in the Tesla.

The term you are looking for is "gapless playback" and I don't think Tesla supports that.

Understand...I feel the same way about the very minimal support for HDRadio in Tesla. My 10 year old VW's standard radio has album artwork, station logos and more all from an FM signal. No internet.
It took me awhile to "catch up" to the same 2021.44.25 software as everyone else since I'm running the FSD Beta in my 2020 Model X Performance: 2021.44.25.6. (Tesla has been applying FSD updates to older base software.)
The good news is that the album art on my USB drive (w/3000 songs) now shows up again! But it only shows up correctly on the MCU (center screen).
On the smaller screen in front of the driver -- where I've elected to show the song playing on the left side -- when the song title changes, the album art image remains stuck on the first song's image. Album art on the driver's screen shows up OK when streaming from Slacker -- it's only songs from the USB drive that don't properly update after the first song.
Has anyone else experienced this?
(Separately, USB album art still doesn't work at all on my 2015 Model S with an upgraded MCU running 2021.44.25.2

)And unfortunately I have to now also say that thanks to the holiday update, USB artwork is still there, but is so incredibly SMALL the joy of having it appear is greatly diminished!!It took me awhile to "catch up" to the same 2021.44.25 software as everyone else since I'm running the FSD Beta in my 2020 Model X Performance: 2021.44.25.6.

Can anyone explain why the boxes to select between Bluetooth phones or usb drives is 3x larger then. The cool album art above it??
Or why we have now lost the album title??
Aargh
What is the best way to play music off of USB do you plug it in at the glove box or via the USB C port?

Best way is to get a USB hub and put it in the glovebox to support both USB music and Sentry videos.
I have a Jeda to give me additional USB ports and plug into one of those. Don’t use glove box
Or even better, use a single flash drive and just partition it into 3 drives. Dashcam, Boombox and Music all on one drive!
Album art still doesn't show up at all on my Model S (with upgraded MCU2) running 2022.4.5.
And on my Model X running 2021.44.30.15 (part of the FSD Beta), artwork shows up correctly on the small screen in front of the driver -- but only for the first album you play -- then never changes for subsequent albums.
Tesla has had YEARS to fix this, and still seems to care only about streaming music artwork (which does display correctly on both cars).

There's a very simple reason for this. Money. Streaming (at least through the car) requires a connection. A connection requires a subscription. Simple as that.
As far as bringing back the artwork...yeah...but what's the point? It's so small you can't see it anyway. But 40% of my screen is still taken up by a graphic showing a car driving in it's lane. Sigh.

This has been one of my pet peeves with the Tesla UI. Why not provide a way to display larger album art/song info when most of the screen is showing for the most part useless info?
