New Rockboxer w/ Gigabeat concering Album Art

(1/2) > >>

vfr750:
I've been reading in the forum that Rockbox does not support jpeg format album art.  The gigabeat will display jpeg pictures.  Has there been changes (maybe a plugin) that will allow jpeg album art to be viewed in playback.

On a seperate note, I haven't found anything in the manual about importing mp3s.  I know Rockbox won't play sat files so I copied the mp3s from my computer to the Gigabeat.  Is that the "approved" method?

Febs:
Rockbox does not officially support any album art.  There is an unofficial patch that allows bitmap album art to be displayed on the WPS.  Rockbox does have a .jpg view, so you can always open album art .jpg files manually.

Yes, that's the idea. I wouldn't go so far as to give dragging and dropping the prominent title of "approved," but yes, simply put the music in a folder that you can find in the root, and either use the Database to read the tags to build a directory listing, or use the File Browser should you have your own preferred organization.

OK, kind of bummed out about the jpeg thing.  Is there a "simple" converter (jpeg to bmp)that comes recomended?

Depends what OS your computer is running....
