Hello Vrette, the following directions are copied from a post in page 1 with a few corrections.

First, you do not need to be root.
Second, Canola stores the Album Art in /home/user/.canola/covers/ and that cannot be changed, but you can create a Symbolic link that links to an expansion card.

- Copy the already downloaded album covers to another Location, for example to the removable memory card (mmc1), using this command:

cp -r /home/user/.canola/covers /media/mmc1/

- Remove the old location

rm -rf /home/user/.canola/covers

- Create a symbolic link

ln -s /media/mmc1/covers /home/user/.canola/

I hope that helps you.
Remember, you can change the location of where you copy the album art in command 1, just remember to input that location in place of /media/mmc1/ in command 3.

Let me know how it goes.
