I need some more information to gain some insight. Maybe a debugging archive helps, create it with
"RightClick on the iPod icon in the Media Library-->Help-->Create archive for bug report"
and upload it to http://stashbox.org for me...
Do that immediately after uploading a song that should have artwork inside.
Thanks
Does it work with a folder.jpg?

It doesn't work with folder jpegs either.

X:\Music\official\album\Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend\01. Mansard Roof.mp3 seems to have no ID3 embedded art, or at least ml_ipod can't find it in the right format. So maybe it is not correctly tagged?
X:\Music\official\album\Menomena - Friend and Foe\02. The Pelican.flac: For flac files, you can only use the folder.jpg approach. So there should be a X:\Music\official\album\Menomena - Friend and Foe\folder.jpg
But you have disabled the folder.jpg processing in the prefs! Check again.

Same thing, only with the folder.jpg prefs enabled.
The Vampire Weekend file definitely has album art, it's in jpeg format. I'm not sure what you mean by the album art being incorrectly tagged. I tag everything with musicbrainz picard. The album art shows up in in the id3 info and in winamp.
Anyways, I've had the same results with all of my other music, most of which has album art, so it's not particular to this one song.
Good luck!

Well, it all looks fine now:
prepare writing
coverF X:\Music\official\album\Menomena - Friend and Foe\02. The Pelican.flac from X:\Music\official\album\Menomena - Friend and Foe\folder.jpg
update IDs (ipod_artwork_db_set_ids)
create buffer (ipod_buffer_new)
write ArtworkDB part 1 (write_mhfd)
write ArtworkDB part 2 (ipod_buffer_destroy)
write ArtworkDB done
writing artwork ok
That means it detected and transfered the artwork for this track. Don't know what to tell you now...

You're right, it seems to be working now for songs with folder jpgs.
But it is still not transferring album art that is embedded in the id3 tags.

Please send one of those MP3s via stashbox. I'll have a look then...

Thanks for the file. A little bit of debugging, and I think I found the reason:
Your song has ID3v2.4 tags. But the used id3lib DLL supports v2.3 only.
Don't know why that is, it was introduced by koniyan. Maybe he can help here.
I read somewhere that id3lib should manage to read v2.4 too, but obviously not the version that ml_iPod uses :-(
ID3_ENUM(ID3_V2Spec)
{
ID3V2_UNKNOWN = -1,
ID3V2_2_0 = 0,
ID3V2_2_1,
ID3V2_3_0,
ID3V2_4_0,
ID3V2_EARLIEST = ID3V2_2_0,
ID3V2_LATEST = ID3V2_3_0
};
@koniyan, could you have a look for that?
@jcascia1: could you re-tag your files with ID3v2.3, e.g. with ID3-TagIt? I did that with your example and it worked then.

Retagging in ID3v2.3 worked. But it would obviously be ideal if ID3v2.4 were supported. Thanks!
