Album ARt

ruster:
would the metadata buffer apply to all media? or just audio? i might not even be this right at all...but what exactly would that mean (dumbed down please)?

Llorean:
It's just a more flexible way of storing the extra data associated with music files (album art, track, title, date, etc). From a user's perspective, it won't change anything. From a programmer's perspective, it adds more flexibility to what we can load with tracks, and how many tracks we can load at once (right now even if the tracks are very small, you can only load so many even if it doesn't quite fill up the RAM).

Please excuse the ramblings of an ipod video user who has only just found Rockbox!

I have it working and like the OP was disappointed at not having AA, which having read a bit I can understand (not the technical but the reason!).

However I would like to try an alternative build like Senab's build but dont quite understand how it would work. I accept that AA has to be BMP and sized correctly and renamed.

OK so how do I put it in the right directory, does this mean I have to find the directory name from the changed itunes name and can I still then use Database mode, if that makes sense?

Cheers

Alan

Saintalan, if your music is organized by itunes it is in folders F00 etc. and this would make it very difficult to organize your album art. It is easiest if you load your music by drag and drop and in the format music>artist>album. Then put your album art in that folder with the name cover.bmp, then you won't need to worry about the tags' album name matching the filename.
Also, if you're worried about correct size you could use a build that has the BMP resize patch applied to it, like my build (link on my sig) or the jbuild. Another method is to use a program like ifranview to do a batch resize of your images.
