[QUOTE="StarSpeckledSky, post: 3375274, member: 580955"] Are there [B]any [/B]units that read full-length ID3v2 tags, AND display the Title, Artist, Album, and Elapsed Time all at once? The [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/ISEO-rgbtcspd/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=300&I=113MP635"]Kenwood KDC-MP635[/URL] comes close, with it's 3-line display option of: [FONT=Courier New]Elapsed Time[/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]Title / Artist[/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]Album[/FONT] However, the unit reads only ID3v1 -- rather than ID3v2 -- tags, meaning anything more than 30 letters long is abruptly cut off. For example, one song I tested it with should display (taking scrolling into account) as: [FONT=Courier New]5:12[/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]No Such Thing as the Promised [/FONT][FONT=Courier New][COLOR=Red]Land (Mako Reactor) [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Courier New]/ sephfire, sgx[/FONT] [URL="http://ff7.ocremix.org"][FONT=Courier New]http://ff7.ocremix.org[/FONT][/URL][FONT=Courier New] - Voice[/FONT][FONT=Courier New][COLOR=Red]s of the Lifestream[/COLOR][/FONT] But all the [COLOR=red]red[/COLOR] text is absent, being too long for ID3v1 tags. The [URL="http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17446"]Clarion DXZ775USB[/URL] mentioned above, on the other hand, can read ID3v2 tags just fine as I found out tonight. (Thanks again Deja for the link!) But instead of displaying all fields at once, you're limited to a choice between Elapsed/Title/Artist: [FONT=Courier New]5:12[/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]No Such Thing as the Promised Land (Mako Reactor)[/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]sephfire, sgx[/FONT] and Elapsed/Title/Album: [FONT=Courier New]5:12[/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]No Such Thing as the Promised Land (Mako Reactor)[/FONT] [URL="http://ff7.ocremix.org"][FONT=Courier New]http://ff7.ocremix.org[/FONT][/URL][FONT=Courier New] - Voices of the Lifestream[/FONT] Surely there exits some headunit (not too ridiculously expensive) that can give complete, simultaneous display of Title, Artist, and Album tags in addition to the Elapsed Time for the track.
