hi, thx for your reply as well, i'll answer inline: Siduhe Wrote: > Would setting up a central store of artwork sort issue 2 for you?
not really... i like to keep the artwork in with the album folder, so i don't get a big mess, and so it is separate from the files. i can visually see right away what art files are missing; and anyway, this is how WMP obtains them. i am curious as to how to add artwork to a tag, but i don't want to use that method. i also want the music and artwork together for anyone who may want sometihng i have.

(not to mention, it wastes space) thanks for the link... i might have some followup questions based on that and the info in the SS menus. thx again, -mdw -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25266 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
