Wimpy Player / XML

Hello folks. I'm using Wimpy mp3 player for my Christian forum www.talkjesus.com

I'm having a bit of problem applying album cover art as instructed in the manual
http://wimpyplayer.com/Users_Manual/index.html

Example from my list.xml file (everything works except the visual line/code for coverart.

Code:

    <item>
        <filename>mp3/Awesome God.mp3</filename>
            <title>Awesome God</title>
            <artist>Hillsong United</artist>
            <genre>Worship</genre>
            <duration>4:08</duration>
            <visual>jpg/looktoyou.jpg</visual> 
    </item>

The wimpyConfigs.xml file is

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wimpyConfigs version="1.0">

</wimpyConfigs>

Not quite sure why it does not work.

The folder structure is

music (root folder)
sub folders:
getid3
jpg
mp3

Sample jpg file name (as shown in above list.xml sample) is looktoyou.jpg under the jpg folder. I assume this should work.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
