With respect to embedded cover art and its impact on file size I'm fairly sure that the metadata in flac files is stored at the beginning the file and that a certain of space is allocated for this information. Therefore how large (in kilobytes) can embedded cover art be before it has an impact on the overall file size? The reason I'm asking is that I try to obtain cover art (either by scanning or downloading) which is has close to 1MB as possible. I like high resolution cover art because I use Moose (http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove/) as the front end for controlling my various Squeezeboxen and high resolution cover art looks great when using Moose. At present I do not use embedded cover art instead place in the same folder as the flac files in a file named "cover.jpg". Everything works fine except that getting SBS to recognize new or revised cover art usually requires a full clear and rescan. Which of course raises the question of when will SBS,s scan function be updated to handle new and revised cover art without having to do a full clear and rescan? -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86747 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
