Can't display Album Artwork - IPOD Video 60GB
« on: April 10, 2009, 09:09:14 AM »
Hello -

I have what I a hope will be a simple question...

I have the above mentioned IPOD with the latest version of Rockbox software installed (3.2). It just occurred to me the other day that I have never been able to display album artwork. I have tried many different mp3s and many different themes, but I have never seen any artwork.

Any thoughts? Is there a switch somewhere I need to turn on?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Take a look at this wiki page.  It should answer any questions you have about album art:

If you have any further questions after reading that page, please let us know.

Thanks for the reply. Looks like too much work to get the album art to display. I am a big fan of Rockbox, but I wish we didn't have to give up album art (without a lot of work) and video playback.

Take care -

The amount of work depends on how you copy your music to the player.  I have each album in a folder and a cover.bmp in each folder.  Easy.

Even if you use itunes (which scrambles filenames and sticks the songs in odd directories), I'm sure there are programs out there that will auto-rename album art to e.g. artist-album.bmp
