The only advantage I care about to embedding artwork is that it remains portable with the audio files themselves. So when my GF loads up her iPod the artwork goes with the tracks. The same reason to have tags inside the tracks instead of in external files or just in a database.
I'm sure there must be a performance hit pulling the artwork from the files, but you'd think after caching this should go away. I'm not terribly happy with the caching performance of Slimserver right now though. It still seems to take longer than I would expect to browse a decent sized list of covers before they're all visible. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30176 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
