yeah, thats what mp3tag is. and i'd like them not to have to use more than one app to do all the tags needed and artwork. call it the holy grail.

So, what's the point? personally, i don't like embedded artwork. but i might want to extract it now and then from a download. however, what i want is someone to be able to do the art in a folder if necessary, and do so without setting their OS to show hidden files. mp3tag will allow me to do that and show them how, which is sweet.

THEN (unlike SC) it will show you any *.jpg it finds. (i would love it if SC did the same thing) Philip Meyer;368116 Wrote: > > >cut me some slack and get a grip. > Hey, just my opinion. Don't get all upset about it. not upset, but when you say "correct" to a subjective (and immature) statement as if thats a decided matter of fact, its rather silly. that line tho was really mostly directed at jim and not you, which i admit wasn't obvious on my part. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.3b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55949 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
