So you transferred a bunch of tracks from an on-line store or your own collection but you don't have album art for those tracks. And you really don't want to edit the tracks on your PC and re-transfer them again, right?

Well, there is a way to leave those tracks where they are and add art to them. In fact there are a couple of ways.

What you need:

There are a few different tools that you can use to help you out.

• A Card Reader: This is the most straight forward. If you already own a card reader you can use it to edit the tracks on your SD card and add album art
• Card Export: Don't have a card reader? How about making your Palm into a card reader. Card Export does this. Then you can edit the files as if they are on your PC.
• Album Art: Of course you need to get the album art as well. There are a few ways to do this.
  1. Windows Media Player will often add the album art when you rip the tracks from a CD. They will be placed in the same folder as the tracks and are in the jpg format that Pocket Tunes supports
  2. Tag And Rename: A program that allows you to add album art fairly quickly. Can be a little labor intensive but works very well. Lots of flexibility and additional features not specifically related to Album Art. Has a free trial.
  3. Album Cover Art Downloader: Also allows you to add Album Art fairly easily. However it is not as flexible as Tag & Rename, though it is free.

How to transfer the files:

The key is that if you use either a card reader or card export you navigate to the location of the folders for each album. Usually the location on an SD card is /Audio/Music. Let's Use 'The Beatles' album '1' as an example.

Step 1: Get the album art.

If you plan to use Tag & Rename or Album Art Aggregator then go to step 2.

If you have ripped the album using Windows Media Player then it should put a '.jpg' in the same folder as the album tracks. In the example of the 'The Beatles 1' album, it would normally be in 'My Music -> The Beatles -> The Beatles 1' .(If you want to use Windows Media Player to add Album Art to tracks BEFORE you transfer them to the SD card, see this Knowledge Base article). Just find the album you want to add art to on your SD card and got to Step 2.

If you downloaded album art to your PC go to that location. Now on to Step 2.

Step 2: transfer the files

Method 1: Using Tag & rename or Album Art Aggregator.

The key to either program is setting the location that you want it to look for files to add Album Art to.

So FIRST insert your card into the card reader (or activate Card Export).
Then set the location you want the program to look for the files:
