photos and cover art in ipod-sharp

I’ve been working on ipod-sharp recently to add cover art and photo support. It’s nearly complete now, and I can add and remove art and photos on my video iPod. Another person has tried it successfully on his Nano, so all that’s left to test is a regular iPod Photo. There might be some issues to work out yet with the camera adaptor too. A big thanks to Larry who did the initial work and provided the scary image conversion code

I’ve added cover art support to Dopi in svn. It uses Cover.jpg (or cover.jpg or folder.png, etc) if one is present next to the files when you add them. I suppose one of these days I should add a crappy “track properties” window so you can view/change the cover art there.

I’ve also created a patch for Banshee to make it use the new ipod-sharp and sync cover art. To try it you’ll need ipod-sharp and libipoddevice from svn/cvs.

Oh I also converted ipod-sharp to use gmcs. Hooray for generics.
