Album Art help
vocrobot:
I have used the search facility to find the answer to this but whatever I try doesn't work.
The instructions for having album art don't make sense to me at all; I have looked at the wiki but I still don't get it. As a test I copied an album over to my iPod and from what someone posted on the forum I copied a jpeg of the album art into the album folder and renamed it with the name of the album. Thinking this would work I started to play the first track but no album art appears. I want to ditch iTunes and go with the drag and drop method because Rockbox is so good but I like my album art and I just can't get it to work. There is no embedded album art within the tracks and just one copy of the album art in that album folder which as I said earlier was all that I thought was needed but no artwork comes up.
What is the easiest way to set it up? I understand almost all of the Rockbox features but this one has me baffled.

Make sure that the tracks are tagged with the album title, exactly as you have named the jpeg file.

Is the jpeg single scan with interleaved components ?
convert the image to a bmp and rename it to cover.bmp and test it then.
That should be the most foolproof way to get albumart working.
vocrobot:
I don't think it has interleaved components. When I booted up the iPod I checked the picture using the jpeg viewer and it came up OK. I'd read if it showed OK there it should be OK.
I have just noticed however that it is an iTunes AAC encoded album. Will that make a big difference. All my MP3s are tagged using iTunes but I haven't tried an MP3 encoded album yet. I shall do some more testing tomorrow and see if I can get some results from there. Thanks for the responses I've been given.

Select the file in rockbox and open it. If it opens, its compatible with rockbox. If it doesn't open, it is not.

Does the album play in Rockbox? If yes, then it doesn't matter. If no, then you will probably have trouble viewing album art with it.
