What is wrong with Sync?

[1stShelby]

So I connect my iPhone to Sync so I can listen to my tunes, on comes The Scream with some serious blistering rock and guess what Sync displays on the screen? "Urban," with a couple of Hip-Hop chicks in the icon. Not that there is anything wrong with "Urban", but you know, there is. What is really weird is if you look at the details for the songs it comes up as Rock. Any idea what is going on?

What is your iPhone showing? I don't believe that SYNC choses the album art.

Actually, I think it does. I have the album art included in iTunes and Sync even identifies the genre as "Rock" but still displays the "Urban" icon.

Clearly you don't have the same level of CDO that I do.

What is that supposed to mean?? And it's not Sync, it's your iPhone. The iPhone is not an infallible device, you know.

Actually it is Sync , sort of. Turns out the music recognition part of Sync 3 is powered by Gracenote and it looks like they just don't have the album in question in their database. Submitted the album info to them and we will see if that fixes the problem.

I have Gracenote in all of my vehicles, and it is a complete crap shoot. It hardly ever matches.

Nope. It's CDO when you're anal enough to need the letters to be in alphabetical order.

Another reason I'm happy I don't have a tech pack. That would bother the shit out of me
