2\chapter{\label{ref:album_art}Album Art}
3\section{Introduction}
4
5Rockbox allows you to put the album art, or another image related to the music
6on your \dap{} to display it in the PictureFlow plugin\opt{albumart}{ or in the
7WPS}. For this feature to work, you must observe a few rules.
8
9\section{Limitations}
10
11Rockbox does not support album art embedded in your files' tags, and will
12instead look for a picture located in the filesystem. In addition to this, the
13pictures must be in the BMP or JPEG formats. Rockbox does not support
14RLE-compressed BMP files, nor does it support progressive and multi-scan
15JPEG files. JPEG files must consist of a single scan with interleaved components,
16as progessive and multi-scan images require much more memory to decode.
17
18\section{Where to put album art}
19
20The pictures can be named a number of different ways, and placed to a number of
21different locations. You can have pictures specific to the file or the album
22or use a generic picture. You can place the picture in the same directory
23as the file, in the parent directory or in a fixed directory named
24\fname{/.rockbox/albumart/}. The order Rockbox uses when looking for a picture
25is as follows (a list in braces means that those file extensions are tried in
26that order):
27
28\begin{enumerate}
29\item \fname{./filename.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
30\item \fname{./albumtitle.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
31\item \fname{./cover.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
32\item \fname{./folder.jpg}
33\item \fname{/.rockbox/albumart/artist-albumtitle.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
34\item \fname{../albumtitle.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
35\item \fname{../cover.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
36\end{enumerate}
37
38The following characters will be replaced with an underscore (\_) when looking
39for albumtitle.bmp or artist-albumtitle.bmp: \textbackslash{} / : \textless{}
40\textgreater{} ? * \textbar{}. Doublequotes will be replaced by single quotes.
41See \wikilink{AlbumArt} in the wiki for more details and programs that will
42help you automate the process of putting album art on your \dap{}.
