Album art taken from metadata, not individual jpegs

[Vive la France]

Hello, I am a returning rockbox user, but I just wanted to say, it would be alot easier to have album art read through the metadata, and not by the current Jpeg system. I love rockbox to death, but this would make it one step towards perfection

This has been requested/discussed many times, and from everything I can recall no one's figured out a good way to implement something like this (or possibly no one's even figured out how to properly read stored images from metadata yet.)

Maybe we could use an example from Songbird? That is the best metadata editor I have found, and editing album art is very easy.

The issue isn't that no one knows how JPEG in ID3v2 tags work.  Its actually well documented.  The problem is that no one has a good way to implement it into rockbox given the memory and processor limitations on an mp3 player.  The ID3v2 standard actually makes doing this fairly awkward, presumably because they did not consider anyone viewing the pictures on something less then a full PC.
