So you don't have album art in the media player now, or you do?
just tried media player and someplayer and the album art is showing in both of these but not in images

Doh! - it was all so obvious now I've been reading these posts:
Do what mussogsky does - save your album art into a subfolder starting with a "." - eg ".mediaartlocal", and remove it from the audio directory.
Then they don't show up in the image viewer but the do in the media player when you play the album

Code:
/home/user/MyDocs/Music/Artist - Album/.mediaartlocal /home/user/MyDocs/Music/Artist - Album 2/.mediaartlocal /home/user/MyDocs/Music/Artist X- Album/.mediaartlocal
- move all the *.jpg's into .mediaartlocal
At least, that works for me...

For example:
- for each folder of music, create a sub-folder named ".mediaartlocal".Code:/home/user/MyDocs/Music/Artist - Album/.mediaartlocal /home/user/MyDocs/Music/Artist - Album 2/.mediaartlocal /home/user/MyDocs/Music/Artist X- Album/.mediaartlocal
- move all the *.jpg's into .mediaartlocal

My next step is to check what albums do/don't have the .mediaartlocal folder and just create one for the missing ones. If they already do it'll be 'safe' to delete from the gallery.
Looks like redscorpionkiller was right - they can be deleted from the gallery without being lost from the device.

Here's a little script I've knocked up to search through your music directory and move any jpeg's it finds to a sub-directory called ".mediaartlocal/"
Usual warnings apply regarding damaging your phone, I'm not responsible etc
Edit:
I've also attached the file to download from this post - make sure you save it without the ".txt" extension.
Edit 2:
I've fixed a bug in the script (even in dry-run, it would create the .mediaartlocal dir)

Code:
#!/bin/sh
MUSICDIR="/home/user/MyDocs/Music"
find "${MUSICDIR}" -iname *.jpg -o -iname *.jpeg | while IFS="" read FILE; do
DIRNAME=`dirname "${FILE}"`
LASTPART=`echo "${DIRNAME}" | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}'`
if [ "${LASTPART}" != ".mediaartlocal" ]; then
if [ "$1" = "-d" ]; then
echo "${FILE} will be moved to ./mediaartlocal/"
else
echo "Moving ${FILE} -> ./mediaartlocal/"
if [ ! -d "${DIRNAME}/.mediaartlocal/" ]; then
mkdir "${DIRNAME}/.mediaartlocal/"
fi
mv "${FILE}" "${DIRNAME}/.mediaartlocal/"
fi
fi
done
- Copy/paste it to a new file (eg /home/user/bin/hidemediaart.sh)
- set MUSICDIR (on the line 2) to whereever your music is stored
- make it executable:
Code:$ chmod +x /home/user/bin/hidemediaart.sh
- You can simulate a 'dry run' (ie no files will be moved) using the "-d" parameter:
Code:$ /home/user/bin/hidemediaart.sh -d
- Run it 'for real' - it will move and jpegs to a sub-directory called ".mediaartlocal/":
And it will show you which files are being moved.Code:$ /home/user/bin/hidemediaart.sh
