iPod Integration - What Causes Bold Titles?
Being a Southern California driver, most of my driving experience exists on the freeways either crusing at 80MPH or rolling along at 5-15MPH in the famous traffic patterns.
It's because of the latter that I get the chance to get up close and personal with this iPod integration, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what causes certain artists and albums to appear as BOLD text on the MFD.
Does anyone know what triggers this behavior?
I have an old 3rd gen 60GB iPod that I have dedicated to my cars for years. I wiped it out and did some testing with various tracks, and it's completely at random from what I've been able to determine. The text as far as it's stored in the iPod and in iTunes does not define characteristics that determine the font for the song title, so the only conclusion I can draw is that it's got something to do with MB's interface.
Do you see Bold text on your MFD when browsing your iPod?

I think MFD has to fill a certain amount of space with iPod info so if a track's name/artist is not long enough then MFD "bolds" it to fill the space. That's my theory and I could be wrong.
