[QUOTE="rtv, post: 317818, member: 12309"] Sorry but there's no common use case for your scenario and therefore we will not support extracting album art without decent ID3 tags. MP needs valid information to identify one unique track out of thousands. Without valid ID3 tagging it _could_ extract the coverart of course but the thumbnail system wouldn't know when to display that particular cover. If you're a music lover you'd go for a standard method to display album art which would work in almost every app and operating system: use folder.jpg In addition this isn't restricted that much like ID3 tag images (Which should be only 64x64 images. Due to the weak standard however you could use e.g. all 28 bit of the extended V2.4 header to put an image in it - but don't ask devs to support such rubbish). [/QUOTE]
