Actually your statement is not strictly correct... In the case of user added cover art, Apple uses a proprietary extension of the MPEG-4 (aka MP4) file format whereby the art is stored as an embedded JPG or PNG file inside an Apple defined "covr" box in the MP4 stream. In other words they don't use ID3 tags, but people have been able to reverse engineer the "covr" box so that SqueezeCenter can nevertheless extract the art from it. On the other hand, when the art is downloaded from Apple iTunes Store, it is NOT stored in a "covr" box, but instead it is stored in an encoded manner elsewhere in your iTunes folder. So far nobody has been able to reverse engineer this coding, so at present SqueezeCenter cannot extract the art from it... -- AndrewFG Regards, AndrewFG ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndrewFG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51196 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
