Cannot get rockbox album art to work

[Jaska]

For a quick test, if you use iTunes (for files other than WavPack), select one of your tracks or albums with album art, and drag and drop the artwork from the little artwork viewer in the lower left corner of the player interface to the desktop. iTunes should to be set to list view for this to work. The output file will be a .bmp, and should work with Rockbox. At least this works with my 5G iPod.

I don't know how you are because I have Photoshop 5.0 and cannot open or save .BMP files. As far as I know .BMP is not supported by Photoshop. TRY DOWNLOADING GIMP 2.0!

As I mentioned before, tags are irrelevant. As long as you are sorting your albums by saving them in different folders you just have to name the album art "cover.bmp" in each folder.

I'm sorry dude, but I can't help you any more if you won't listen.

I just used paint.... K.I.S.S.

Try uploading the file and we can see if it works on our devices...

Or try the attached image and see if it works.

I just downloaded that image and it DOESN'T WORK. It's obviously not the file.

The last resort is to try a fresh OS at this point. There must be some setting or error in your OS that's causing this problem. Make sure you have all of your music backed up on your PC first. Be advised this will erase all of your settings, so you will have to re-do any EQ and theme settings you had before.

In Windows Explorer open the iPod drive.

Create a new folder called "Music". You should keep all of your music in this root folder instead of in subfolders within the ".rockbox" directory.

Place all of your music (in their various subfolders) in the new "Music" folder.

Delete the ".rockbox" folder and re-install the ".rockbox" folder from the downloaded .ZIP file (make sure you are using the most recent copy of Rockbox).

Create a new folder called "Test" within the "Music" folder (example -- F:/Music/Test). Put some MP3s in there and add the BMP image in the previous post with the name "cover.bmp" (all lowercase). Open a song from that folder and see if it works. Make sure it's .BMP and not .BPM (very common mistake).

If this doesn't work I'm tapped out of ideas.

OK I just deleted the wps tags it said to put in on the rockbox website and the album art is working now.

You're killing me dude. I must have mentioned that at least twice.

Well, glad to hear you got it working.

I thought you said it like three times lol, but good thing it is working now

Sorry, when you said tags I thought you meant ID3 tags in the music files, not the wps tags.

 

[zeroibis]

To be honest I do not even know what wps tags are... (what are they)
