For this feature to work, you must observe a few rules. + +\section{Limitations} + +Rockbox does not support album art embedded in your files' tags, and will +instead look for a picture located in the filesystem. In addition to this, the +pictures must be in the BMP format. + +\section{Where to put album art} + +The pictures can be named a number of different ways, and placed a number of +different locations. You can have pictures specific to the file or the album +or use a generic picture. You can place the picture in the same direcotry +as the file, in the parent directory or in a fixed directory named +\fname{/.rockbox/albumart/}. The order Rockbox uses when looking for a picture +is as follows: + +\begin{enumerate} +\item \fname{./filename.bmp} +\item \fname{./albumtitle.bmp} +\item \fname{./cover.bmp} +\item \fname{/.rockbox/albumart/artist-albumtitle.bmp} +\item \fname{../albumtitle.bmp} +\item \fname{../cover.bmp} +\end{enumerate} + +The following characters will be replaced with an underscore (\_) when looking +for albumtitle.bmp or artist-albumtitle.bmp: \textbackslash{} / : \textless{} +\textgreater{} ? * \textbar{}. Doublequotes will be replaced by single qutoes. +See \wikilink{AlbumArt} in the wiki for more details and programs that will +help you automate the process of putting album art on your \dap{}. -- cgit v1.2.3
