Handful, I have a n800 and the card is a 16GB SDHC Class 6 card with approx 13GB of music on it so I was not overly bothered with the scan time - I kind of expected it. I

Wow! Jeremy you have a real big card there. Do you believe we actually dont have one of this =) it's so hard to find those in brazil : / last time I was abroad I brought with my money one 8 gigabyte, but earning in reals sucks to pay in euros =) and to ask the company takes MONTHS. but yes... we will try like always improve this time... or at least avoid it in the beginning.. but the device flash is slow : /

As far as the embedded images, what is the specification/size/format that canola tuning is looking for?

Well we need 2 images : 300x300 and 150x150. If it is 300x 300 I think it saves time and space...

Also how does canola tuning come up with the album art i.e. does it try and use the embedded album art in the mp3 file, then the folder and if that does not exist does it then try to look up the album on the web? Just curious as I would like to improve its success rate with the album art as when they are populated it looks great!

It first looks for the embedded, then for the file inside the folder and last it tries to download it.
So in the end, what we want to do now is the last step : to make you able to choose from the downloaded album arts AND even pick from filesytem.

Also if it looks at the folder for cover art, all of the folders had a folder.jpg file which was stored there by media monkey (media organizing app), does this also have to be a particular size - I had to use images from different sources so some were probably larger than others which may have caused problems...

if they are 300x300 better =) and faster =)

Finally if all else fails and I have to populate the cover art manually within C2, where is the cover art stored, is there a particular size and format that is required (sorry if you answered this one before)?

No problem .. is there in the home/user/.canola/cover
In a "artists/album" structure..(take care with accents, and spaces) and with a 300x300 and 150x150 format.

you will notice that are several covers in some folders, it's because we alreay have the code for chosing the cover ... = )

@Rjdourdry :
Are the albums cover depletng your internal memory?
if you are running out of space, you can create a symbolic link for your card.
But I think this is the case of placing a option to choose the device to store.
