I beg your pardon: I left a piece of question in my head. The complete
one is the following: how can I name a cover art file to be showed
correctly, relating to the ID3 tag album title, which contains some
forbidden characters?

I have some cases in which some tracks from different albums are
stored in the same directory (i.e. for not completed albums). I have
the cover art of these albums, but I can't name them as "cover.bmp",
obviously to avoid collisions, so I must name them as "<title>.bmp",
following the precedence described in
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/AlbumArt.
Which name should you use in those cases?

TIA.
