Does anyone know the web service or logic that the Model S uses to find album art for songs on a usb drive? (I realize and understand that it is *not* loading the art from the song files.)
It does a pretty decent job of finding most artwork and I'm trying to correct the 10% or so that it misses... labor of love. I'm currently checking the songs against what is on iTunes and that seems to be hit or miss. If the album title or song title is obviously wrong, it is easy to fix. But other times, it is correct down to the punctuation and it just won't show.
A couple of notes:
1) The file name of the song must be changed for it to analyze and look up the artwork. Changing the tag alone does nothing... (so I have a file name randomizer that i use to force a new lookup).
2) Songs that appear on multiple albums will have the artwork shown for some albums but not others. (I've spent too much time trying to decode this!) But you have to try one album name at a time to determine which one the Tesla will recognize.
I don't have the network tools to sniff out what sites it is hitting but that would help a ton if someone is willing to take a look!
Any help or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks!
