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
|
|
|
|
|
theme}. For this feature to work, there are a few requirements.

\reference{ref:featureset_for_generic_metadata_tags} for full details. It additionally
|
|

supports loading images located on the \disk{}. PictureFlow is currently unable to

The image files must be in either BMP or JPEG format\opt{albumart}{, while embedded
|
|
|
|
|
album art is currently limited to JPEG. Embedded JPEG images must not be
|
|
|
|
|
unsynchronized}. Rockbox does not support RLE-compressed BMP files, nor does it
|
|
|
|
|
support progressive and multi-scan JPEG files.
|
|
|
|
|
JPEG files must consist of a single scan with interleaved components,
|

|
|
|
as progressive and multi-scan images require much more memory to decode.

\section{Where to put album art}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The pictures can be named a number of different ways, and placed to 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 directory
|
|
|
|
|
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 (a list in braces means that those file extensions are tried in
|
|
|
|
|
that order):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
|
\item embedded (JPEG images in ID3v2 or MP4 tags only)
|
|
|
|
|
\item \fname{./filename.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
|
|
|
|
|
\item \fname{./albumtitle.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
|
|
|
|
|
\item \fname{./cover.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
|
|
|
|
|
\item \fname{./folder.jpg}
|
|
|
|
|
\item \fname{/.rockbox/albumart/albumartist-albumtitle.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
|
|
|
|
|
\item \fname{../albumtitle.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
|
|
|
|
|
\item \fname{../cover.\{jpeg,jpg,bmp\}}
|
|
|
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following characters will be replaced with an underscore (\_) when looking
|
|
|
|
|
for albumtitle.bmp or albumartist-albumtitle.bmp: \textbackslash{} / : <
|
|
|
|
|
> ? * |. Doublequotes will be replaced by single quotes.
|
|
|
|
|
If no album artist is set, artist will be used instead. See \wikilink{AlbumArt}
|
|
|
|
|
in the wiki for programs that will help you automate the process of putting
|
|
|
|
|
album art on your \dap{}.
