I think it's just the described location for the album art that "doesn't work".

Chronon:
Putting the album art in the Music directory IS the parent directory (..\) if the files are stored in Apple's weird obfuscated structure.  I think that's the hitch here.  If you try this with a Music\Artist\Album\*.mp3 structure then the Music directory is too many levels deep.  With the original iPod structure you have e.g. Music\F01\*.mp3.

MarcGuay:
If you look at the original post that the info in the wiki was gleaned from, it actually says this:

1) Move all the BMP's into IPODDRIVE:\iPod_Control\Music

Thank you very much MarcGuay for tracking down the source of the confusion.

I have made an attempt to clarify the wiki entry and explicitly remind readers of the limited places Rockbox will look for album art.

crzyboyster:
I added another useful tip using this technique on the wiki:


--- Quote ---Generating Album Art of different sizes

   1. Instead of putting in

      D:\art\

      you can put in

      D:\art\.100x100

   2. Change the album art size in the same window to the album art size you inputed in the step above. This will generate out album art images with a name such as "cover.100x100.bmp".
   3. You can do this multiple times and generate out different sizes this way for pictureflow and different WPS'.

Hopefully that helps someone.
