Sync albumart to Zen Creative

Hello guys,
I tried almost everything with my Zen X-Fi.
Is there any way, that you know, to syncronize the album art with the track?
Everytime I transfer music, it appears without album art and it's.
The rest works fine.

Thanks.

Have you tried embedding the artwork into the mp3 tag?

What tagger are you using? What format for the album art? From what I read on Zen devices, most people suggest equal/smaller than 500x500 jpg files, although when necessary they should be cropped/scaled by the device. There is mp3tag, which is reported to have a high success rate with Zen devices, available from AUR that runs with wine. Or try its native equivalent puddletag.

I think those are jpegs with different extension name or at least other type of image, which surely can be converted with imagemagick.
