Album Art, "different issue"

(1/2) > >>

TrickyTony:
So I did totally read over the wiki (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/AlbumArt), but despite my efforts I am not getting art to display. Here is my current setup: 5th Gen iPod Video 60 GB, got Rockbox installed, worked like a charm, and am loving it so far. I then added the theme AAFreak, because... I am an Album Art Freak ;). Now to get album art to work here is my example. I added a FLAC folder (Boxer by The National). I then found a .bmp of the cover of Boxer and re sized it to 240x240 naming it Boxer.bmp. I added Boxer.bmp into the folder "The National - Boxer," which from what I could tell from the wiki is all I needed to do. Obviously I am missing something technical that I don't quite understand. If anyone could give me some pointers I would REALLY appreciate it. Sorry for this "simple minded" problem, but hopefully once I get this down I will be able to fully love my new Rockbox iPod. Thanks!

Llorean:
Is the song file properly tagged with an album name in its metadata that is exactly "Boxer" so that it exactly matches Boxer.bmp (and why not simply use 'cover.bmp'?)

TrickyTony:
I was under the impression that the cover.bmp had to match the name of the album exactly? Honestly I am more used to dealing with mp3s if I used something like foobar2k would that let me check the metadata to see if it is Boxer? But if it is "Boxer" and I have "Boxer.bmp" in the folder "The National - Boxer" should everything work?

Llorean:
It can either be named "cover.bmp" or "AlbumName.bmp" where AlbumName is exactly what it is in the tag, yes. Foobar2k would be one way to check, but Rockbox should also be able to show you what's in the tag with the "Properties" action in the context menu.

TrickyTony:
Thanks. Ummm Checking the track context it does Say [Album] Boxer. I also resaved the image as "cover.bmp" it is just sitting in the folder, does it need to be in a subfolder or something? I can see the image when I click the folder on the iPod, but it doesn't display when the songs are playing.
