This thread has been an eye-opener!
One of my personal joys is creating cover art for recordings (vinyl I've digitized, etc.). I've done this for years, and developed an SOP for sizing, quality, etc. I usually use GIMP for this work and have usually created images 1425x1425, at 300 dpi, which is the size that translates best for PRINTING cover art for a CD insert. When I started using LMS, I KEPT this formatting/sizing and for years I've been embedding cover art in mp3/flac files using mp3tag that were created using that sizing and DPI. These files are rarely ginormous, but in the past month I've noticed that files I know have cover art embedded in them do not display that cover art in LMS. Started looking at the logs and saw errors related to "exceeded file size limits." So, just recently I've been playing with modifying my SOP to created files at 600x600 300 dpi, or 1425x1425 at 100 dpi. The first are slightly smaller, but the later are easier to add text to. And now this thread!! I have not previously put a cover.jpg file in the folder with the music files. Should I? Is there a scanning/LMS advantage to doing this and removing cover art from the music files? I ask because I have an 80,000+ music library and changes that make scanning more efficient are welcome. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gstalnaker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63504 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116043 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
