Ahh so that would be why they're not appearing on my ipod photo :-) gtkpod would probably be the easiest to add support to, although it doesn't yet support them (it supports the shuffle). http://gtkpod.sourceforge.net/ There is also details of the artwork database over here http://www.ipodlinux.org/ITunesDB Regards Pete _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
