Whenever I try to add a jpeg picture(the album art)to the folder with the associtated artist, it always ends up in the photos section, instead of with the song. What do I rename my jpeg so it shows up as album art? What do I do to make it album art?

You have to add it to the mp3 file before putting it on your device. Here's how: http://www.instructables.com/id/add-album-art-to-mp3-song/ Also, if you get your music from reputable sources (which is much better for the economy, by the way) it should be part of the file automatically. Some audio formats may not allow for album art. When I had my Phantom, this was the case.
There are 3 possible ways in getting the album art for your music album.
Album art may be obtained from the online Music CD database that Windows Media Player uses.
Note: Not all music albums have album art available in the online CD database.
From the online music store where you purchased your songs or albums, the album art may be downloaded along with your purchase.
You may also create your own album art by transferring your
favorite jpg photo into the selected album folder and rename it to Album
Art.jpg.
To download album art from the online database and transfer to the player.
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
Launch Windows Media Player.
Go to Tools> Options> Player.
Make sure the "Enable picture support for devices" check box is selected.
Click the Apply, then the OK buttons.
Select the "RIP" tab on the task menu bar.
Insert your music CD into the CD drive of your computer. The Windows
Media Player will take a few seconds to show the content of the CD on
the display.
Click "Find Album Info".
The Player accesses the database hosted by WindowsMedia.com and
displays information about the album in the Album Information pane. The
album art will be shown if available.(Note: For some music CD, album art may not be found in any of the online database.)
Click Finish to update all the information about your album and show it in the Rip pane.
Connect your Device to the computer.
Select the tracks that you would like to rip by clicking in the check b
ox next to the track.
Click the Rip music button to start ripping the music CD.
Once the tracks are finished being ripped to the library, go to
the Media library and select the songs that you have just ripped.
Add them to the sync list and transfer them into your Device. The album art will be transferred along with those selected songs.
Disconnect the Device from your computer.
Make sure that the option in your Device has been selected to display the album art on the device, at Settings-> Album art.
To create your own album art and transfer it to the Device
In Windows Media Player , right click on the song you want to update the album art of.
Select "Advanced Tag Editor" option.
In the screen that pops up , select the "Pictures" tab.
Use the drop down list to make sure that the type of picture you add is the Cover (front).
Click on "Add" to associate a picture as the Album art for the song and all the songs in that album.
Add this (and other songs from the same album) to the sync list
and transfer them into your Device. The album art will be transferred
along with those selected songs.
Disconnect the Device from your computer.
Make sure that the option in your Device has been selected to display the album art on the device, at Settings-> Album art.

Hope this information helps. If it does, please do not forget to give me a rating and a comment.
As itunes will not or rather cannot see the Sansa clip you will need to do this manually.
Locate your itunes Folder
Example: Music/Itunes/Itunes media/Music
Once there simply copy and paste or drag and drop each album or artist folder into the clips Music folder
You could also install Windows Media Player for Mac
Once you have it installed
Clik on
Tools
Options
Clik on the Library Tab
Clik on Montitor Folders
Clik add and locate the Itunes/Itunes Media to add that path
Now whatever you add in itunes it will come across to WMP and in turn this player will see your Sansa Clip.. and you can manage it a lot easier using WMP.
Make sure to explore all the settings.. and remember if you want the album to come over from itunes to WMP you can go into these same settings and force it to update simply cliking OK in the Monitor folder settings.
If you want album art.. some may come over.. some may not.. If you must have album art.. prepare to use Amazon to copy and paste.. it's relatively quick and easy to do.
To do this you're going to have to re-copy all of the music you want album art for to your G1! Sorry! But here goes...
Firstly, the reason the album art isn't there is because it wasn't bought online, therefore the album art may not be encoded onto the songs. However it's not that hard to encode art yourself on Windows Media Player.
You have to look for the album art online, and save it on your computer. Then, find the songs you want on Windows Media Player (if they are from the same album then ctrl+click them all) then right click. On the right-click menu there should be an option called Advanced Tag Editor. Click that, then the Pictures Tab, and click Add. Then find your album art and select Cover (Front) from the Picture Type drop down menu. Hopefully that will encode your songs with the album art, then you can sync them with WMP or copy and paste them as normal.
u can use the other mode to put the album art on it too....
just drag and drop the album art using wmp 11...
if that doesn't work the slow way is to use iriver plus 3 and add it manually.
i suggest organising your files by placing albums into individual folders with their album art...
u can also use other programs like itunes or winamp to add album art...
In mine, which is the 8GB model, you just browse to Media>Pictures and can drag and drop files into that folder. I'm assuming the 1GB model is the same, but it might be a little different. Post back to let me know if that helps!
What do I have to edit in the ID3 tag?
