2 | Rockbox allows you to put the album art, or another image related to the music | ||
3 | on your \dap{} to display it in the PictureFlow plugin\opt{albumart}{ or in the | ||
4 | theme}. For this feature to work, there are a few requirements. | ||

18 | The image files must be in either BMP or JPEG format\opt{albumart}{, while embedded | ||
19 | album art is currently limited to JPEG. Embedded JPEG images must not be | ||
20 | unsynchronized}. Rockbox does not support RLE-compressed BMP files, nor does it | ||
21 | support progressive and multi-scan JPEG files. | ||
22 | JPEG files must consist of a single scan with interleaved components, | ||
23 | as progessive and multi-scan images require much more memory to decode. | ||

25 | \section{Where to put album art} | ||
26 | |||
27 | The pictures can be named a number of different ways, and placed to a number of | ||
28 | different locations. You can have pictures specific to the file or the album | ||
29 | or use a generic picture. You can place the picture in the same directory | ||
30 | as the file, in the parent directory or in a fixed directory named | ||
31 | \fname{/.rockbox/albumart/}. The order Rockbox uses when looking for a picture | ||
32 | is as follows (a list in braces means that those file extensions are tried in | ||
33 | that order): | ||
34 | |||
35 | \begin{enumerate} | ||
36 | \item embedded (JPEG images in ID3v2 or MP4 tags only) | ||
37 | \item \fname{./filename.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}} | ||
38 | \item \fname{./albumtitle.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}} | ||
39 | \item \fname{./cover.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}} | ||
40 | \item \fname{./folder.jpg} | ||
41 | \item \fname{/.rockbox/albumart/albumartist-albumtitle.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}} | ||
42 | \item \fname{../albumtitle.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}} | ||
43 | \item \fname{../cover.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}} | ||
44 | \end{enumerate} | ||
45 | |||
46 | The following characters will be replaced with an underscore (\_) when looking | ||
47 | for albumtitle.bmp or albumartist-albumtitle.bmp: \textbackslash{} / : < | ||
48 | > ? * |. Doublequotes will be replaced by single quotes. | ||
49 | If no album artist is set, artist will be used instead. See \wikilink{AlbumArt} | ||
50 | in the wiki for programs that will help you automate the process of putting | ||
51 | album art on your \dap{}. | ||
