Sorry, I'm confused

I'd like to understand all this stuff around cover art location.  From what I can see you can...

- Store cover art in one directory
- Store cover art in the directory w/ the mp3s as folder.jpg
- Store cover art in the directory w/ the mp3s and name it something else???
- Store cover art in tag??? (what does this mean)

Did I miss anything?  What are the pro's and con's of each?  I also have a video iPod and have not yet been able to transfer cover art to the device.  When using an iPod do I need to worry about the location of the art?

Thanks for your help!

- Store cover art in one directory

The Option is: "In Specific Folder"

And You Give A Path Like C:\My Cover Art\

All your Art Will Be Stored Here

- Store cover art in the directory w/ the mp3s as folder.jpg

the Option Is "Next To File" Folder.jpg

If Your Media File Is in C:\My Music\Beatles\White Album\Beatles - Help.mp3

Your Art Will Be Saved Next To The File Like

C:\My Music\Beatles\White Album\folder.jpg

- Store cover art in the directory w/ the mp3s and name it something else???

the Option Is "Next To File" [Artist] - [Album].jpg

If Your Media File Is in C:\My Music\Beatles\White Album\Beatles - Help.mp3

Your Art Will Be Saved Next To The File Like

C:\My Music\Beatles\White Album\Beatles - White Album.jpg

- Store cover art in tag??? (what does this mean)

The Option Is

• Store Images In Tags Also

If The Media File Type (Like "MP3") Allows You To Save A Image Inside The Media File It Will. go to www.id3.org for more info on id3 tags

I Thought All Of The Options Were Clear On the Page. This Info Should Be In the Updated Help Files When MC 11.1.xxx Is Completed

What are the pro's and con's of each?

That's Debatable
