For example If you have:
Music>>Artist>>Album>>name.mp3
You cannot put a bitmap with the artist, album, or mp3 name in the MUSIC folder and it actually work. It won't. Been there and done that. Doesn't work, at all, ever. Not in any way.
MUSIC is the BASE folder.

The wiki page for album art uses no such term, so I've no idea what you're talking about here. It quite clearly states where you can put your album art files :

There is no mention of the word "base" there, and in any case the term "base folder" that you use is one you've just invented - it has no definition in computing.

Move all the BMP's into the base directory of your music library.
Make sure you are running the latest version of the Album Art + BMP Resize Patch

I guess I was the only one to read to the BOTTOM of the page. Directory or Folder. It makes no friggin difference. I'm greatly resisting the urge flame a couple of you at this point. I READ the wikki or I wouldn't have commented.

Yep - that method is out of date.
I might have worked with the original album art patch, but will not work with the album art implementation found in stock builds.
Why (instead of getting increasingly short tempered and inflammatory), didn't you explain exactly what lines you were following - and discuss the contradictory statements found in that wiki page in a constructive manner? For that line clearly contradicts the description found earlier in the page of where album art is to be placed.

That was taken from something someone posted in the forums and has a pretty clear disclaimer at the top saying it isn't guranteed to work... Just sayin'...
crzyboyster:
So are you guys saying that this album art extraction method doesn't work with the latest build? I have ALWAYS used it and it works fine with the current stock builds that I always use...
