Title: Another Album Art Question -- iPod Color
Post by: perryman on May 08, 2010, 02:10:16 PM: In deleting music from my library, I decided I would give album art a try on rockbox. I switched my theme to AW140, I've extracted my .jpgs from the id3 tags, converted my .pngs, changed the image names to "cover.jpg" and still don't have album art displaying. I've cleared the album art in iTunes. Is there anything I'm missing?

??? ??? ???

The cover.jpg loads fine when I "play" the .jpg. Just no image when playing songs.

Could you post a similar screenshot of your iPod's actual directory structure down to the cover.jpg level if my assumption is correct?

Post by: perryman on May 08, 2010, 09:10:07 PM: You are correct, that is my computer.

I only have two artists/albums on my iPod since I didn't want to spend hours adding songs only to have to delete them again.

When I clicked Rockbox info, there is a category 'Album Art' and it says no.

I do remember I had to download an older version of the firmware in order for it to load on my iPod.

Post by: perryman on May 08, 2010, 10:10:23 PM: The autodetect feature on the Utility was saying I was using a ipod color/video using autodetect so i tried that out and the bootloader wouldn't load. I was pretty sure I was using a 5th gen iPod so I changed that and voila, it's all loaded and album art is loading. Really appreciate all the help, once again. Thanks!
