Personally I have found that automatic downloading of cover art works fine most of the time but for some records it is almost impossible to find a decent image.
As I wanted perfect rips with EAC/FLAC I felt that the quality of the online images was just not up to standard. Instead I have gone back to doing it the manual way, scanning all my covers and storing a JPEG of size 1080x1080 in the same folder as the music. I then use the attached perl script to automatically create resized copies of sizes 100x100 and 300x300 pixels. The bigger image size big was selected for future solutions that will hopefully allow full-screen cover visualisation on HD TVs. I run it on Linux but I assume it could run on Windows as well with minor modifications. Sounds complex but it was actually much quicker than the ripping part. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: covers.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2303| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- bergek Transporter - Squeezebox 3 - Serener GS-L02 - Via EPIA SP8000 - Ubuntu 6.06 Server ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bergek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7805 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32048 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
