Get your image.

Edit or resize your image and save it as...

Folder.jpg [250 px x 250 px is ok]
AlbumArtSmall.jpg [125 px x 125 px is ok]
For the PocketPC only 1 image is needed
Folder.jpg
Step 3:
Place images in the correct folder. Folder and AlbumArtSmall must be placed in the folder of the music files you want to have the album art for.
