Re: Cover Art Grabber

I spent an age getting all the artwork embedded using iTunes. Would it be possible to modify the Grabber so that it uses the embedded artwork if found.

All my music has art added through iTunes, seeing the art would be great! 8)

It would be nice to see the playlist that's currently playing in Now playing view and also in album/folder/artist/etc view. I played around with latest CVS My Music add it's making sense in many ways, but I was missing the info which playlist I had activated.

- when I first go into My Music, select an album and press Play, the "Now playing" window appears and the "length of the track time" on the right-hand side just displays 00:00.

Thanks Steve - it works fine now (CVS 03-02-2006--01-11)....

Love your work..... :wink:

Somewho with an idea of how to get different covers for each .mp3 in one folder? That would be great because i have several folders with different tracks from different artists and at the moment i only see the "No cover available there".

Is there a way except make a folder for every song?

EDIT: I have a suggestion of how to solve this:

How about to get a coverart from thumbs/music/artist if there is no folder.jpg in the folder? This would be great. Then you just have to place pictures of the artists in the /artist and get your mp3-tag ready and everything would work great...
So everytime there is no folder.jpg there would be a lookup at thumbs/music/artist if there is a artist.jpg in and then show this jpg

Would be great, if this can be integrated...

iTunes Art

Have just tried the latest CVS - iTunes art is now supported.

Or maybe always was and i was doing something stupid.

Had to convert all mp3's to use ID3 2.3 using iTunes. Then deleted all the music thumbs and reimported from configuration.exe.

Now all albums show artwork.

If only there was an easy way to get artist thumbnails ? Or have i missed something ?

Cheers :lol:

Re: iTunes Art

On 06/03/2006 [23:49:55] SteveV2 added the following change: Bug fix--MP does not retrieve album coverart from album folders when in database views

woooohoooooo great change Steve!!

A small (and perhaps easy?) suggestion:
If I insert an audio CD, the regular menu shows the filename, track01.cda or something.
The "now playing" shows no information.

I guess it would be easy to make the now playing display that filename?

Knut
