This sounds like a very interesting addition to RB's album art plugin... Andrew Conkling wrote: > Any plans to pull this from MusicBrainz when the tracks are already > tagged as such?
When you say "suitably tagged" do you know what tags Banshee uses to determine the album cover? I would guess the MusicBrainz DiscID should be used: http://musicbrainz.org/doc/DiscID Do you have some suitably tagged example files (even silent dummy tracks would be great for testing)? According to these blog posts, the MusicBrainz covers come from Amazon anyway - but using MusicBrainz's cover mapping would probably be better than a simple Amazon search: http://blog.musicbrainz.org/archives/2004/02/server_updates_18.html http://blog.musicbrainz.org/archives/2006/11/please_come_and.html I guess we could use the MusicBrainz XMLWebService to get the release information - in particular the Amazon ASIN (which we then use to get the correct cover from Amazon): http://musicbrainz.org/doc/XMLWebService > After noticing that Banshee pulled the right cover all > the time when it was set on MBz, I was disappointed to find that > Rhythmbox was doing its own (often incorrect) search. Looking here, at the Banshee Album-Art plugin, I can see no mention of MusicBrainz: http://code.google.com/p/album-art-plugin/ So I guessed this might be done by the "Metadata Searcher" plugin, but looking at the source to this plugin maybe not... http://svn.gnome.org/svn/banshee/trunk/banshee/src/Plugins/Banshee.Plugins.MetadataSearch/ Could you give some more information about how album cover art works in Banshee with MusicBrainz?
