Cover art issue!

where exactly do I put it?
and how do I access the files?
I have all my files on my ipod from itunes, and they all show up in the database...
if I go into my files on the computer, and put an 'album.jpeg' tag in the a;lbum folder in the itunes library, should that sync those files to my ipod?
sorry, I just downloaded rockbox yesterday, and this is the only negative I can see so far!
I love everything else!

Rockbox doesn't support embedded album art, so I'm not sure what you mean by "'album.jpeg' tag".
The AlbumArt page in the wiki lists possible naming schemes/locations. You probably want to use option #5 if your music is in an obfuscated file tree, such as what iTunes likes to use.
bobbydriver:
If you store the jpg in a directory with mixed mp3s as <albumname>.jpg does Rockbox pick up the correct jpg per file as album art? I suspect that it should do.
There are freeware tools out there that will extract the embedded jpgs from mp3's in this format I think
Yotto:
It does pick up the correct Albumname.jpg, with the caveat that if your album has a character that you can't put in a FAT filename (say, a colon) then you're out of luck. The firmware will load the correct jpg for every song in that directory, provided the file exists and is named exactly what is in the id3 tag.
Chronon:
The wiki says this:
--- Quote ---The following characters will be replaced with an underscore (_) when looking for albumtitle.bmp or artist-albumtitle.bmp: \ / : < > ? * |. Double quotes will be replaced by singlequotes.

I don't see any bug reports about this on the tracker, so I would expect that this works (i.e. making the above substitutions in the name of the album-art file).

1: that is the MOST AWESOME adjective I have EVER seen...
2: I didnt mean "tag" i meant "file" lol
2.5: I will go check that out... but the Itunes on my computer organises my music as follows:
>music
>artist
>album
>song
>artist
>album
>song... and so on...it is actually VERY neat and clean :)
I have NO idea how it does that, because when I had my old computer, it was a giant cluster*** of music files with weird names...I guess my library likes mac better lol
