I'm looking to clean up my album art and am looking for suggestions on a
process and/or tools to do it in mass or batch mode.

In researching this for the past hour or two on the wiki and in these
forums I think I am aiming to end up with a cover.jpg in each album
folder (I currently use an 'artist\album\song' directory structure)
though I'd be delighted to be directed otherwise.

Background (if it helps in providing guidance)
- using nokia skin (both on the 770 on on PCs)
- so am using 6.5
- have 800 or so albums (mostly in 320k mp3 ripped using EAC, some in
320 mp3 ripped using wmp (these are the brand new ones I buy and then
rip immediately) and some FLACs ripped using MediaMonkey (I haven't
tackled the complete redo into FLAC but am just ripping new cds into
FLAC and MP3 (to download into mp3 player)
- have played with MediaMonkey and haven't figured out how to do this
on a mass basis
- have played with Album Art Aggregator but it doesn't allow this on a
mass basis (creator explained somewhere that since he uses only Amazon
as a source and Amazon only allows a limited number of simultaneous
requests from one user this wouldn't be happening  unless Amazon
changed its policy...)
- my tags are in reasonably good shape (I spent what seemed like days a
year or so ago with Tag&Rename cleaning them up)
- A number of my current albums DO have album art but I'm not sure
where it came from (probably the newer ones ripped with WMP and
MediaMonkey?) and it seems to be stored in the tags rather than in a
separate file (?)
- I'm not a programmer (alas)

In any case, my two questions:

1) given the above, would you recommend storing the image in a
cover.jpg file or in some other way?

2) what process/tools would you recommend for doing this on a mass
basis?
