Will we ever see true iPod intergration where we are able to scroll through a list of albums or books or whatever and click each title to get a graphic of the artwork?

Until Apple allows true development to third parties for the iPod, I would think this could be done by some scripting in creating a Playlist in iTunes and match up the ID3 tags to correspond with the book title, author, image of the book etc?

At this point it comes down to what Apple allows in the "notes" feature, which is what we use. I don't think it allows art or linking to albums, but if I'm wrong, let me know—preferably with a link to some docs.

I don't think it's possible to make a scrollable list of book cover images but you could easily have text titles link to images. It would certainly be useful to see the cover of a book you're hunting for in a bookstore.

(Btw, I just downloaded DL an hour ago so I haven't even seen how the existing iPod syncing works.. if this feature has now been added and my post no longer makes sense.. never mind. )

Linking to a Photo

You can link to a photo in much the same way that you link to a folder. The photo must be stored in the JPEG file format (with the .jpg or .jpeg extension) in the Notes folder (the top folder in the Notes hierarchy).

To link to a photo, create an anchor element with a link tag pointing to the filename of the JPEG file, as in these examples:

<A HREF="/vacation">Check Out the Grand Canyon!</A>
<A HREF="file://vacation">Check Out the Grand Canyon!</A>

When the link is clicked, the Notes feature automatically detects that the file is a photograph. It
decodes the image, scales it (if necessary) to fit the iPod screen, and displays the image centered on a white background below the status bar.
