The song title/artist comes up on the screen however i have not worked out how to scroll through all my songs instead of pressing the next arrow which takes forever

Anyone worked it out ?

I haven't found a list of songs on the headunit unfortunately. It's as frustrating as not being able to reorganize "AM, FM, BLUETOOTH, USB, AUX". (unless you can do this?)

You pretty much need an apple product. If you're using android, it will only give you limited options. My brother's iPhone was given a "List" option that I've never seen before or since when he connected it. My android phone doesn't get that list button.

If you're connecting through Bluetooth, only meta data (such as song info, etc.) and the actual music file are being transmitted.

If you are connected via USB cable, you will be able to display the lists like Playlists, Artists, etc.

Does this work with android? And does it also display album art?

at this point it would be faster to control it from your phone.

no, Android Devices have yet to support audio out via Mico USB, only Bluetooth or Aux cable

Exactly. I can skip tracks via bluetooth on my ipod, then when the album or playlist is over, it goes into shuffle mode. The only way i've been able to browse my library through the head unit is by connecting via usb.

That's not how it works with our radio. When you plug in your Android phone or USB memory stick to the USB port, the Bespoke (Premium) radio system senses the device and scans all the recognizable music files. It will display a listing of the music on the radio screen and you simply touch the display to play the song that you like. It can also arrange your music by Playlists, Artists, Albums, Songs, Podcasts, Genres. It's exactly the same way that it works with the Ipod.

With Bluetooth, you need to play the songs on your Android phone using "Google Play Music" but the music comes out of the car speakers. Another option is to play live music streaming (Slacker, Pandora, iHeartRadio etc.) through the Bluetooth interface.

All in all, the Premium radio is actually pretty good.
