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!

on a quick search
it seems the "libgpod" library and related API is what does the magic , it might also be related to the libid3tag0 + libid3tag0-dev code too OC

gtkpod being the GDK GUI front end that uses that OC
