Computer illiterate, need HELP with album art

(1/3) > >>

willysson:
I am truly computer illiterate and probably need someone holding my hand here.  Just bought a Sansa Clip Zip (4GB + 32GB microSD), installed Rockbox, now can't get the album art to work.  I ripped all my old CDs to FLAC using EAC and added album art (not embedded) through EAC.  Have no idea whether I've set this up correctly.  On the microSD card, I added a new folder "MUSIC".  Copied all my music over.  Folder structure I have is Artist-Album- Track#-Track (see attached photo).  The Rockbox for Sansa ClipZip manual on page 174 describes where to put the album art, but I don't understand it.  There are 8 examples.  Some begin with a "period" followed by a forward slash, others no "period", some two "periods".  I don't understand what the periods signify.  I guess I just need someone to tell me exactly what to do.  Thanks in advance for any help.  Happy Holidays.

A single period means "the current directory" (also known as "folder"), so ./folder.jpg means "a file named folder.jpg placed in the same directory of the audio files. Two periods mean "the parent directory", so "../cover.{jpeg,jpg,bmp}" means "a file named named cover.jpg or cover.jpeg or cover.bmp placed in the parent directory" .

To make a long story short: place the album art in the same directory of the audio file, rename it as "folder.jpg", make sure it's small and it's not a gigantic jpeg in super-high resolution, use a theme which display the album arts and it should work without any problem.

Thanks much, I'm going to give it a try now!

Still not working, and now I'm wondering whether I'm an idiot!  Went through folders and renamed all my album art.  Tried different naming conventions (folder., cover.) and extensions (jpeg, jpg, bmp).  Used IrfanView to make sure sizes were small and dimensions fit the ClipZip screen (resized everything to 95x95 pixels) and maximum of 99kb.  Add a new theme (Pro).  After all changes shutdown and then rebooted.  Still not working.  Since a picture's worth a thousand words, here are 3 pictures (I'm a bit over the maximum total size so will add another post.

Anyone with any thoughts?  Thanks!
