I converted the image to a number of different colour depths (2 col / 4 col / 16 col / 256 col / 8 bit /24 bit) re imported them and they all worked including the re-saved 8 bit version. The file size doubled though so it must have been something in the file format..

What I will have originally done is scan them, crop them, batch convert them / resize in irfanview - I've tried re-batch converting them but the file size is still 1.4mb a file (rather than the (700k of the 'old' fie) I've deleted the old songs / re - imported etc,

I think it must have just been a save option in that particular batch in irfanview created a JPG that the library on my BOOX can not display. Probably a one off !
