User Interface and Voice / WPS Track Title & Track Length Disappear When Buttons are Locked
« Last post by Elm1825 on March 11, 2024, 07:35:02 PM »Rockbox Version: ae01ea7fd9-240223
WPS Track Title & Track Length Disappear When Buttons are Locked. When buttons are unlocked items still are missing until you switch to a different track and back. I’ll attach some pictures, info file, and my wps/cfg.

Theming and Appearance Customization / QWERTY keyboard file, polish layout
« Last post by bartsam on March 11, 2024, 04:58:20 PM »Hi there!
As this is my first post here, I would like to say hello to the entire community and take this unique opportunity to share my keyboard layout with you.
I created this a while ago because the default layout wasn't that easy for me and I decided to create something (more) comfortable.
So, it looks like on the picture and this is just a text file, easily customizable. Strip the '.txt' of the default.kbd.txt filename.
HOWTO: https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LoadableKeyboardLayouts
Works good in FIIO m3k and Sansa Clip Plus and Sansa Clip Zip. Tested on Rockbox build ae01ea7fd9 (March 2024).
I didn't notice something like this on this forum, so feel free to use and comment

Audio Playback, Database and Playlists / Re: [SOLVED] Batch convert MP3 tag inherent PNG cover data to JPEG
« Last post by Kalzifer on March 11, 2024, 05:57:17 AM »Now that I know what I'm looking for, I found out another solution for Mac Afficionados:
With MP3tag you can open a batch list of files, select them all, right-click on the cover artwork, select "Adjust" and a dialogue opens, where you can define artwork format, size and compression amount (for JPEG).
Just in case, that this maybe useful to anybody else...

You're right, phildren - I guess it has something to do with the way I "work" with implementing cover artworks. Not mean to bore you - but since the days I began my library (in close connection to my very first iPod) I have a very strict procedure that I didn't stray from in now almost 18 years: I rescale any artwork that I'd like to implement to 170 x 170 px (as you can see in my screenshots above) which is the default size for a cover image on an iPod display.
I'm doing this usually via PhotoShop and COPY + PASTE the image via the clipboard - so iTunes is not the culprit, but the Apple system (maybe, in my beginnings in 2006 I still even used OS9...) which eventually switched the default image format in the clipboard from JPG to PNG.
Never mind now - since bahus provided the perfect solution for my problem. 😊
I'm looking forward now to become an enthusiastic RockBox user! 👍

YAAAAAAAH!!! 😱 This actually is working!!
One Million thanx to you, bahus! This was exactly the solution I was looking for - and TagScanner even is freeware!! 🥰
❤️ Thank you so VERY MUCH! ❤️ - i f there's anything how I might compensate you for saving me a hundred hours of "pain-in-the-ass" work, send me a DM!

« Last post by philden on March 10, 2024, 02:05:48 PM »I'm running iTunes 12 on my laptop, and some artwork is still embedded as jpegs. At least that is the format if I drag the image file out of the iTunes window to the desktop. So you might be able to do your conversion just with iTunes scripts. I'd make sure that your image files are not too big in rockbox, so that the software doesn't have too much processing to do. That is why I use .bmp files of exactly the right size for my theme, to reduce the processing load.

Update: Yeah it seems possible. I see option to Recompress (or resize) all cover arts. It should do it:

« Last post by bahus on March 10, 2024, 10:17:43 AM »there is no other way, when you have stored MP3s of different albums into one and the same folder (e.g.: a collection of several single hits), to have their artworks displayed correctly when playing.
You can have pictures specific to the file - just name it the same as filename (filename.{jpeg,jpg,bmp})
You can see rules how album art is loaded here: https://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-sansaclipzip/rockbox-buildap3.html#x19-435000C.2

I am familiar with the concept of a cover artwork saved seperately into a folder of MP3 files (like "folder.jpg" oder "cover.jpg") - but that's not what I'm trying to do.
I wish to implement the artwork information directly into to the MP3 tag information - for there is no other way, when you have stored MP3s of different albums into one and the same folder (e.g.: a collection of several single hits), to have their artworks displayed correctly when playing.
Earlier iTunes installments saved the cover artwork in JPEG-Format (as required by RockBox) into MP3s created with them - but after iTunes 8 Apple changed it's policy regarding this feature and from now on all cover artwork was implemented in PNG-Format, when creating (or modifying) MP3s with iTunes.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

2)
I'm looking for an application, that can batch covert files from status 2) back to status 1).
