\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 or JPEG formats. 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 progessive 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 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{./cover.jpg}
|
|
\item \fname{./folder.jpg}
|
|
\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{}.
