So my only choice is to either remove or resize all artwork?

Essentially, yes.

The album art on your device is far, far, far greater sized than it need be. Your screen is a tiny 96x96px, so any image greater than that resolution is absolutely unnecessary.

If you refer to the manual for your device, you can see that album art is loaded preferentially, so it is possible for you to keep your needlessly massive (for this purpose, at least) album art on the device (though, essentially all it will do is waste storage) as well as a much smaller resolution version specifically for Rockbox to use. The above link will take you straight to the area of the manual explaining the order of preference in which album art is used.

Like I said, I copied it from my music library which is the source for more playback devices/software than just rockbox :) Not every device will output a low-resolution cover.
I'll try to batch-replace the covers later. I can't boot into the stock firmware with the SD card because it endlessly tries to refresh my media.

Looks like you replied while I was still thinking/editing, my prior post (now) suggests an option where you can keep the massive art as well if you'd like to.

Thanks, I'll most likely have to replace some covers though - also I noticed that there is no PNG support so I might have to do rockbox-specific covers anyway.
