In mean time, you can use http://staff.get-e.org/?p=users/chen....git;a=summary as starting point to hack your own solution until we have something official, actually that was the idea in having this as free software, so you can help yourself until we have something. If you need some pointers, you can install python ID3 lib and use "os.walk()" to get files, ID3 to get album/artist name and then use the example code to load images and generate images with the correct size. If someone does that, then please post it here or at planet.maemo so others can benefit.
Wow, that is complicated. I don't understand why is not possible for Canola to read a specific image name with a specific size. I don't mid if you choose one and I have to do the conversion in order to see the album art.

I don't understand why something that simple is that hard to implement...
