OK, I'm using Yellowjacket that supports Album Art with the most current Rockbox build (I assume supports art, right?).

I saved my .bmp files (cropped at 125x125) right to the album folder. Now I have no clue what to do next. The Wiki seems to be saying I need to write some type of code lines to the .WPS file. I know where to find that file but have no idea what program to use to edit it nor what exact code lines I'm supposed to type.

Sorry for the total newbie questions but I seriously can't decypher the Wiki instructions.

Assuming that the WPS is coded correctly and that you've but the cover images in the right place with the right name it should "just work". Given that you say you're using a current build with a WPS that's updated to support album art, I'd say you haven't got the images named correctly or in the right place.

So what should the names of the files be? For example, "amywinehouse.bmp" is what one of mine is. They are all different. Some are just like "file29.bmp".  I didn't realize they had to have a certain format for the name.

"Edit"-They all located in MyMusic>specific album folder.

Thanks.

The wiki page tells you what the name of the files must be: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/AlbumArt#Where_to_put_the_pictures

if you read the album art wiki.... pretty easy to understand

 Where to put the pictures

The pictures can be stored in the same directory (.) as the track or in the parent directory (..). There can be a track-specific, album-specific or generic picture.

The order of priority is the following:

   1. ./ filename .bmp - same filename as currently playing music file
   2. ./ albumtitle .bmp - name of the album, found in metadata of the music file
   3. ./ cover.bmp
   4. ../ albumtitle .bmp
   5. ../ cover.bmp

You can also specify the size in each filename. e.g. cover.100x100.bmp will be used for themes that display a 100x100 album art picture. Size-specific pictures will be looked for before looking for the files listed above.
