Quesdtion on thumb drive and music

The album art image needs to be in the same folder as the song.

With mine the album art works if it is embedded in the mp3's metadata.

What is the sound system like? Mine will be 14 speakers and woofer. I've seen a review where they say the sound is weak on bass. I have an OE sub-woofer in my Sonata and that doesn't seem to add much if anything.
Can you play videos? I've seen a youtube video saying you can, but was wondering how easy it is. I believe this can only be done vis the USB connection.

Thanks for both responses above. I did attempt to put the album art files into the same folder as the music, but it still does not display on screen. Relative to an mp3's metadata, does that mean the album graphics is built into the mp3 file? All of my music files were ripped from older CD's and were not purchased from google or itunes. The album cover art was pasted into itunes or windows media player after ripping each CD. Could that be the reason they're not part of the mp3's metadata?

I had uploaded all of my music to google music, then later I downloaded it all again when my music drive went belly up. I am pretty sure that google handled the embedding process while they had the files. I think that itunes will do this also.

All I really know is that my thumb drive music shows album art on the car display and there are no separate image files on the drive, only mp3s.

I can also see the album art for each file using a program called mp3tag, which is what I use to assign and fix track names and numbers, genre info, etc. With this I can select an albums worth of songs and paste a jpg into the spot mp3tag provides and it will embed the image into the files. The details of how this works is a mystery to me.
