I downloaded the skin called Xch4nge located here but I cannot find a way to put in album art. I would really like to since it would make my library look so much nicer but I just cannot find an option anywhere.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Found this also saw something about using Mediamonkey.com and doing a batch art finder, here is the link: Batch art finder script for media monkey

The other way was the folder.jpg method:

Q:
What is the folder.jpg method? I've been seeing this method being thrown around forums, but after 30 mins of searching i still cant find out what it is and how it works with foobar. please help!

A:
You make a file called "folder.jpg", which is an image for cover art for a folder of music files. Works in WMP as well.

Hope this helps...

That's pretty much about it, the only thing that may be a problem is if the skin is looking for cover art on the file's tag instead of the folder.jpg, in that case, you have to use a program like mp3tag (free) to embed cover art in each file's mp3 tag.
