With respect to SlimServer I can't think of any advantages. In fact, a number of disadvantages. It makes it a lot more work to change a cover image for an album. And makes it a lot tougher to simply view the covers. A good friend of mine often rips disks and includes high-res scans of _all_ the artwork in the package. This might be as many as a dozen large images from a booklet, plus scans of the CD and jewel box tray insert. The only sane way to keep that artwork is in jpg files, maybe all of them in a zip or rar file to reduce clutter. You certainly wouldn't want to embed 20MB of graphics in each music file. When I rip a disk I often find the best image I can find, but it's not always very good. Some time later I'll go looking for a replacement image and will find a much better one. I did this just yesterday - When I ripped Santana's "Lotus" all I could find was an image that was 200x160 pixels. In SlimServer's gallery view this looks like hell, since square (or neary square) covers are the norm. So yesterday I did another search and found a beutiful 300x300 pixel image. Plonked it in the album folder and was done. No need to break out a tagger or other software to rewrite the files and embed a new image. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31718 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
