Displays MOST album art, but not all...why?

[jayxsnoogans]

Hi, just downloaded rockbox...damn, this thing is great!

I have a sansa e250 with rockbox v. 1.2.3 and some of my album art isn't showing up

now i did a lot of searching through these forums to find that rockbox doesn't support embedded images.

ok, got it......all of my music files are mp3's and they are organized into folders with with an image named: Folder.jpeg in each folder....literally the word folder. also, all these mp3's have an image embedded into the tag.

Obviously something bizarre is going on, because most albums show the art, but about 1/3  show no art.....and I can see no difference in the ones that do and dont

Rockbox doesn't support progressive scan JPEGs, so this might be a problem.  You can try manually navigating to the directory containing the album and try opening the folder.jpg.  This should show whether or not Rockbox is able to open this file.

Fixed capitalization.

That is the installer version.  The Rockbox version will be "Version 3.4" or something similar to "r23643-091115".  The r23643 is the svn revision and the 091115 is the date it was built.

with an image named: Folder.jpeg in each folder

Rockbox does not support Folder.jpeg as an album art filename.  Folder.jpg would be a supported filename.   You can find more information regarding album art in Rockbox on the AlbumArt wiki page.

all these mp3's have an image embedded into the tag.

This is known to cause problems in Rockbox.  It is preferred that the id3 tags do not contain embedded album art.

alright!
I cannot see these images when i navigate to them in their folder!
So this means rockbox simply cannot read them....check

Next step......how do i make progressive scan jpgs not progressing scan.  for that matter, how can i determine whether theyre progressive scan or not? ( I have Photoshop Cs3, if that helps)

Thanks!

update: they are all named Folder.jpg, not Folder.jpEg

Assuming you haven't set the view mode to exclude JPEGs, if they're not in the file browser its probably because they haven't been copied over.

If these are the Folder.jpg files that Windows Media Player adds to your directories, then these files have the hidden attribute set.  You need to change your Show Files setting to "All" to be able to see them.

oh, my mistake!

i can see the file name of these images...but my sansa cannot open them

im very interested in something that can batch convert progressive jpegs to baseline jpegs

any suggestions?...
thanks!

update: yes! its now confirmed that some of my images are progressive jpgs and once i re-save them as baseline jpgs, in photoshop, they display properly...yes!

but, is there anything that can batch convert these images?

[saratoga]

Theres countless programs that can batch convert images.  Try google.
