MM is just updating the Apple OS database. Thats not going to help you unless you're actually using the Apple OS.

Ok, so now I deleted the plugin on Mediamonkey that makes it act like an iPod. Is there any easy way that will sort my computer music library into Artist/Album/File so I can put it on my iPod. Please?
Edit: Good news! Mediamonkey now organizes the files by artist/album/file! The artwork is starting to work too! However, I'm still wide open to suggestions and tips and the ways you guys put stuff on to your rockbox!

I'm willing to speculate that most of us already have a sanely ordered music library on our PCs/server, and simply use drag&drop, or a script to place music files on the device automatically.

Trudat. Once my iPod is filled and all songs have album art. I'll copy all the files on my Rockbox to a new music folder on my computer and then I'll be organized!
Edit: On mediamonkey I'm updating all my tags for my 4,000 songs and I have a question for the album art. Should I save image to tag or album folder? I've been choosing tag. Also, I got a script for Mediamonkey called Album Art Tagger but I'm clueless on how to use it. Thanks for the help!

Personally, I think that if your albums are sanely organised (ie. /Music/Artist/Album/File.ext) that it isn't particularly wise to embed the album art in the file.
Its simply pointless duplication in my view.
Why have the album art duplicated for every file in the album, when it only need be there once? Removing the embedded album art (depending on the size of the art, and keeping in mind that art that is bigger than the maximum vertical resolution of your device is very wasteful) can free up a reasonable amount of hard disk space.
When you have a singular Folder.jpg or cover.jpg, it still works for the ful album, and there is no senseless duplication.
Many tagging programs are able to export embedded album art to the naming scheme of your choosing, Folder.jpg is the naming scheme I opt for personally.
