2 ways for having art in your albums:

1) From Sonic Stage. On the group, right clic - properties - add cover art.
2) From the VP. copy the art you want in one of the Vaio_Photo folders. Then, play the album you want, go to images and in the right menu you have an icon to put the photo you are viewing as cover art of the album you are just listening to.

hi ruben,
thx for reply
so there is no quick way then?
i was hoping the gracenote stuff would do it
i therefore need to download all album covers from say amazon, name them , put them in a folder then add them individually?
that will take hours
ahhhhhhhhhh
cheers

the best way is to remeber to add cover before sending album to Vaio Pocket

Achalek is right.
I use the google images for the covers. Always square ones (200x200, 300x300, etc...)

thx for your replies,

can i ask another potentially stupid question.

i am loading pics from say amazon, however they are 80x80 pixels
therefore coming out a little blurred on screen
where do u source 200x200 photos?
cheers guys

Try Froogle. You can find nearly all covers there.
The avarage size is 400x400.
