I always embed the artwork with the track, so that non-SqueezeCenter applications can find the album artwork too (like the iPod+iTunes setup the rest of my family uses). I happen to keep a copy of the cover art as a separate file, as well, in case I ever have problems with the embedded version. FYI, I've switched from EAC (my previous ripping tool of choice) to the latest version of dBpoweramp and I dont't think I'll be switching back. dBpoweramp does a great job of locating cover art, ripping, tagging, etc. -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47300 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
