I don't use xact, I use Max, so I can't answer your first part... but as to the latter question, what happens when you try to delete files from the D2? also what firmware are you using?

Not sure...it might have that feature in one of the settings but I get my own album art so I've never looked...

how do you get yours? max has it built in, but it doesn't write it to the file... (sorry about all the questions)

Off of amazon, buy.com or google images....

I use FLAC to archive my music and include the album art as cover.jpg within the album folder so I don't embed the art at all.
