Hi.  amaroK (music player for the KDE desktop for linux) fairly nicely
querys amazon.com for cover art, matching it to songs.  I'd like to
have this cover art transfered to my video iPod, but don't know how. 
Where is the cover art stored when fetching with amaroK (in the file
itself, in the song's directory, or in some meta-database?) and how do
I get the artwork to the iPod and corresponding to the correct songs? 
I use iTunes (WinXP) to transfer songs.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

I recommend using amaroK 1.4-svn, the current development version of
amaroK, for this task. However, because of a bug in libgpod, the
library used for handling iPods within amaroK, the ArtworkDB on your
iPod may not grow beyond 2 MB. This means that you can probably
transfer ~5000 songs with artwork.
amaroK stores artwork in ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/albumcovers, the
filenames correspond to MD5 hashes of artist and album name.

Thanks for your comment! Very informative.  Now I may just go read the
config file for the development version and compile it.  I'd looked
for this info in my distro's boards and on amaroK's site, as well as
googling, but couldn't find it.  I assume the lyrics database is
around that same location ../lyrics or some such - I've been curious
about that too. I'll look.  Thanks again resrever, I really appreciate
the comment.
