[QUOTE="hwahrmann, post: 1108833, member: 10391"] Ok, to reflect sleeycol's request above i have changed the logic slightly. In the Music Database section within Configuration someone can choose to use "Embedded CoverArt in tags" for Thumbs creation. This is an indication for us, that the user has nicely tagged files with covers included and this is most probably the cover that should be displayed by MP. If this flag is set, we will get the Cover in the following way: 1. Get embedded Tag from the Song File 2. Search the Thumbs folder for a file in the form "Artist-Album" 3. return folder.jpg 4. Return empty string If the above flag is not set, that indicates to us, that this user is most probably not using Database, but browsing via folder. So we will get the cover art in this way: 1. return folder.jpg 2. Search the Thumbs folder for a file in the form "Artist-Album" 3. Get embedded Tag from the Song File 4. Return empty string [/QUOTE]
