sbs works someething like this afaik: first it looks in the file for embedded art if thats not present it looks in the same folder ! for cover.jpb folder.jpg and similar + some extra names you specify yourself in the settings.
I don't know what picture formats is supported but jpeg is safe bet for all cover art (some had tried to embed extremely large bmp just to have the scanner to bomb out ) . But here comes the "problem" this pretty much assumes the a quite logical way of organizing folders music/artist/album/files . So for an album in a format that don't support embedded cover art you can have all files that belong to an album in the same folder and just have a folder.jpg or cover.jpg If you just dump 40000 odd files in the same dir and some of them have no cover art and if there for some reason is a for example folder.jpg in the same folder it will assumed as being "cover art" . For some bizarre reason "folder.jpg" can be a hidden file in windows ? or do I remember this correct ? So look closely in the same folder as the file and have hidden and system files visible. If it can find no cover art it just display a standard placeholder picture that grey disac on grey background pic. It is uggly so if it is a live set of some kind, I usually google some pic from the venue or from that artist homepage and use something instead of that placeholder pic. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBRto be stuffed in a box in the attic ) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to controll this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72513 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
