Any iPod type gurus out there?
I recently got hold of a second hand third gen iPod Nano. Cleared it out, got it running with Ubuntu using gtkpod and am quite happy. Never expected the covers functionality to work on it though.

What I can't figure out is how it's picked up the covers for some albums that are nothing more than MP3s pulled from a remote computer. Is there some bizarre encoding I'm not aware of that includes the album cover art in the MP3 or has something else triggered it?

Long term I'd hoped that I could swipe the album covers from XBMC (running on the HTPC) and feed them to the iPod but wasn't expecting the short cut that seems to have happened so far.

Any thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance!
