I'll never like a device that forces me to sort via ID3 tags instead of folders. I had to go through all my music, I have over 500 albums, and fix a lot of tags that never were a problem with my JVC in my last car. Call me anal, but when all my bands that begin with "The" get lumped together, I get annoyed. And artists should be sorted by last name. Especially when literally every other device and program reads them that way, including Foobar, my main PC program, except this Pioneer unit. Seriously?
The best part is that after I did all that and plugged my 64GB USB card back in, it takes over 15 minutes to update and recreate the catalogue. And if i add another album... Another 15 minutes. I can't do anything in the interim... Just watch the spinning wheel and wait. Like I said, I have a lot of music. The JVC didn't use ID3 tags so it could load in about 15 seconds.
Also, if you just change the tags and don't delete\add something to force a media update, it doesn't actually recreate the catalogue so none of your changes take effect.
As Devante noted, it has issues with album art. Seems to like a separate jpg and not integrated into the song. That's great. I guess I'll get to add jpegs to 300+ albums now since I stopped doing that a couple years ago since EVERYTHING else can read it from the song itself. Disappointing really.
I'm ridiculously anal about my music. I will force this thing to sort and play my music correctly if it kills me.
