Very well then, I will let you guys figure out a way to support .jpg files as album arts. I've did my part, we'll see where that will bring us.
I will follow the progress closely and I wish I could play a bigger part in it, but I just don't have the knowledge. I wish you all the luck and you'll probably hear from me again soon.

He didn't say he was working on it, and you aren't the first person to ask for jpeg album art. If you want to "do your part", start working on an efficient way to incorporate it rather than saying "someone else should do this."

Most ideas never happen just because nobody works on them. This one has people for and against it, but it's really impossible to decide until someone actually comes up with an implementation and shows how much, or how little, impact it would have.

I'm sorry if I sounded like I was implying that someone should be working on this, that's totally your call. Really, I wish I had the knowledge to start something up, but I can't even begin thinking about something in theory let alone actually doing some programming. I understand a lot of ideas never happen due to lack of men power (and the will for doing something), but I'm just not able to anything more than complain about stuff, I'm sorry!
I just hope that by bringing this issue up, people who do have the knowledge (and time!) see a use in solving this. It's up to you if do something with it or not. All I can do is say that, in my opinion, there is a need for jpg support.

And I'm saying "everyone who works on Rockbox was, at one point, someone who knew nothing about programming."

Just spend a little of your spare time each week reading a book on C, or looking and playing with the Rockbox source, and you'll find it coming to you.

That's something that's very, very true. I will see what I can do. Momentarily I have little spare time left, due to exams. But I'm able to understand Linux, so Rockbox will be just 'the next challenge'. You'll hear from me.
