Re: [slim] Artwork for FLAC (not iTunes) music?
I forgot to mention: the dbPowerAmp CD ripper has access to the AMG album covers (small images, but fine for a controller). I use it and like it - have the ripper set to write an image file (rather than embed) - and I have it using the file name "thumb.jpg", which the server will pick up, but which I can treat as "no art" when scanning with AAD (see prev post). I've settled on 500x500 as an appropriate album art size. That might not be right for you, but you might want to think through what you want the art for before finding you need to do a major re-do... -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69478 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Artwork for FLAC (not iTunes) music?
I just put a cover.jpg in each album folder. I had to find a -lot- of album art - had a couple thou CDs ripped when a version of the server came along that would show art in the web UI (this before the controller). I've had good luck with 'Album Art Downloader' (http://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/). I wrote a python script to go through all my album folders, calling AAD for each that didn't have a cover.jpg or a folder.jpg I'm glad to share, but it only works for albums named "artist name - album name" - and you'd need to install python (free/easy, but still...) -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69478 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

May be OK for non-classical, useless for classical. ("Bach cantatas"
produces no results; "Bach," 34 results. "Mozart," 67 results
"Mahler," 8 results. Yes, well)

Amazon changed it's authentication mechanism to one that is much more complicated. As far as I know, it works again (at least here, using MP3Tag 2.44, I get covers).

You can get pictures of amazon, ( mp3tag could do this a while it have stopped working for some reason). Now You can manually fetch cover from Amazon or any other CD selling site You can get them via google, google works really well if you search for pictures example: http://images.google.se/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=Bruce+springsteen+Born+in+the+usa&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&aq=f&oq= Or amg ( all music guide ) I try to get pictures that are not under 300*300 pixels in resolution There is always a picture somewhere. -- Mnyb No it can NOT be controlled with iTunes Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69478 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Artwork for FLAC (not iTunes) music?
Both MP3tag and Tag&Rename will find artwork (and other info) directly by looking up Amazon.com. MP3Tag is free, but I prefer Tag&Rename. (does other things apart from artwork). If you cannot find the artwork on Amazon.com, I find http://www.cdcovers.cc/ to be quite useful. Amazon.com typically has the folder.jpg in 300x300 or 500x500 pixels size which is ideal. Cdcovers you download the album art separately and then resize/rename to folder.jpg.

You can also just drop the image in the album directory with a name of "folder.jpg" and SC will pick it up from there. -- radish 'HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR CHILDREN'S CANCER RESEARCH!'
