I think Slimpy is right. I just hunted down some information about the standard tags used in an MP3 file. According to this site (link below), there is a way to embed a picture file into an MP3. However, there does NOT appear to be a standard way to provide a pointer or link to an externally stored picture. I believe that the concept of putting your picture file in the same folder as the MP3 is a Slim Devices-only idea. Hence, other MP3 players wouldn't be able to see the album art if it wasn't embedded. Here's a link: http://www.id3.org/frames.html I'm still doing a bit of research to figure out how iTunes handles album art. It can definitely see the image embedded in a MP3. But it also seems to have its own method for pointing to an image file. If I learn more I will post here. -- BBobley ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BBobley's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1338 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28466 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
