| \chapter{\label{ref:album_art}Album Art} |
| \section{Introduction} |
| |
| Rockbox allows you to put the album art, or another image related to the music |
| on your \dap to display it in the PictureFlow plugin\opt{albumart}{ or in the |
| WPS}. 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{}. |
