Partially correct. Gracenote is used (not sure if it uses OnStar LTE connection but I suspect so) if it doesn't find embedded album art. But it will look to the file itself first. I did have some issues with it not wanting to use my embedded artwork when my OnStar data was active but not since (which tells me they are related). But I also dumped my XM around the same time. Most of the music I listen to is not in Gracenote and my embedded artwork definitely shows up. So at least it will work that way. Just not heard any success with linking it to a folder containing the artwork.
