Thanks for that reality check. That makes a lot of sense, and a lot more sense than keeping old graphics files from the days before I used LMS and wasn't concerned about viewing them anywhere but on the desktop where my music library was stored in those days. The problem here is entirely user-generated, like problems with outdated and incompatible metadata tags. In recent years, I have gone through my collection, attempting to get all the tags in order, and on another occasion, trying to correct problems with displayed cover art. Now it's time to deal with the other graphics files in the folders. Not the cover art, but images that can be displayed through the "Local artwork" link in "Song Info." (Is this link only available if you have the Music and Artists Information plugin installed? I've been using MAI so long, I don't remember.) These images can be much larger than 800x800, and sometimes greater detail is appropriate. But there is no point in having files as large as the ones I mentioned earlier. LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players, occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RobbH's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116043 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
