    when adding the "album art" to mp3s... is there a standard way to name the album art file so ANY MP3 PLAYER will show the art?

    me and my sisters have different mp3 players... one of them have a zune, the other has an ipod nano and i have a sansa e250. i have been using a program called mp3tag... i see the album on each song, it shows on the bottom, but when i transfer the songs to all of our mp3 players sometimes it shows on our players and sometimes it doesn't.

    does EACH MP3 PLAYER require you to name the album art a certain way so it can display the album? or is ther a standard way?

    right now this is how i have my album art named;

    i have a folder called Nirvana. Inside the Nirvana folder I have subfolders; Nirvana Cd1, Nirvana Cd2,e etc. Then inside each sub folder I have my songs tagged like this; artist/album/song... and inside each folder i have my "album.jpg". But I am actually using the word "album" I am not using the "name of the album".

    and what about size... is there a specific size i should stick with that will give me more compatibility between players? right now i have them at 90x90 px.
