I can't tell you what step - if any - fixed these issues, but I can tell you after doing this, I can see my entire library & I no longer lose album art after turning off the car. And, my previous post about a fix didn't work in the long run.īUT - after lots of searching in Windows & BMW forums, this time, I think I've found the right fix!

I've seen a lot of posts about issues with music & album art in iDrive when using USB drives, so I know I am not alone in my frustration. But, as I found out from all of this trial & error, iDrive didn't always "see" newly added music. Every time I added a new album to iTunes, I would add it the USB drive. iTunes shows over 6500 songs iDrive only shows 5300. The music on my USB drive is copied from my iTunes library.

I finally got fed up with new music not showing up in iDrive after adding it to my USB stick, and the constantly-disappearing album art every time I turned off the car.
