Album covers

For MP3 players, USB sticks, MTP players, iPhones and iPods, album covers are displayed if the MP3 file contains the album cover. For iPhones and iPods, the album cover is not displayed if the connection is made via the Y cable. The album covers are displayed for a connection via USB (option 6FL) and the "original" white USB cable only.
