Description Asaf 2008-01-27 22:10:31 UTC 
Cover art is downloaded to iPod (2nd Gen nano) when the art work was downloaded though the automatic cover art download. But if the art work is though the cover.jpg, then a back box is displayed on the iPod. In addition, the cover art is recognized only after the song has been played. If it has not it is not downloaded to the iPod. Thanks

I think I have a simple solution for this bug (correct me if I am wrong). When the system sees that there is cover art in the folder it will create a link to that file in the .config>banshee>covers folder with the correct name assigning. That way if the cover art in the folder is changed it will update and since the iPod cover art works with the ones downloaded from the web it will work also with cover art in the library. 
I am a little new to Linux so my suggestion may be completely wrong so if someone can correct me I will appreciate it.

Banshee looks first in the audio file itself for embedded artwork, then in the folder the file is in, then from Rhapsody, then Amazon, then finally Last.fm.  Whatever cover art it finds, it caches in a album-art folder.  Whatever image in there (if any) for an album is what is used to xfer to audio players.  A lot of this has changed since 0.13.2, so I'm going to close this - I think it's working correctly in 1.0 etc.
