[slim] Re: Mac Mini, iTunes and cover art

2006-12-19 Thread tomjtx

I just bought Cover Scout.
It automatically embedded all my cover art in my files. (all my music
is stored in itunes)

Now I have most of my cover art sowing in Slimserver and the picture
quality is good.
Thanks for the info on this, I highly recommend this app. if you are a
computer illiterate like me. This is push one button yo do your whole
collection(over 1,000 CD's
Cover Scout will search amazon and google for the CD art that itunes
coudn'f find

one more ting re. cover scout, if it can't find cover art on amazon or
google you can take a foto of the CD and load it into cover scout and
it will attach it to the appropriate file.

It's a good app for someone as computer illiterate and lazy as I am.

So, there is no way to show artwork when using iTunes?  Is there an
option when using a mac to get artwork?

Coverscout can do this but it's 20$ (see http://www.equinux.com/us/ 
products/coverscout/index.html).

 Another words, If I have a Mac and lossless music, cover art is not
 going to happen?
The iTunes album art downloader stores the covers in your iTunes
directory vs. the file itself.  If you want to see the covers in
slimserver, you need to either...

1. Store the art in the file.  Get Info, Artwork tab, drag the artwork
to the desktop, then exit the dialog.  Select the files you want to
store the artwork in and repeat the process except drag the artwork
from the desktop to the files.  You can Clear Downloaded Artwork once
you are done.  I'm not sure if lossess files support embedded artwork so
you will have to experiment.

2. Drag the artwork from the files to the desktop as noted above. 
Rename and store these files in the coverart directory of slimserver. 
When slimserver opens your tracks, it will attempt to find the
coverart.  I'm not sure of the naming requirements for doing this, but
I think there are some older threads which discuss this.

(Moved to General as this isn't a SN question.)

We don't currently support reading cover art from iTunes 7's cover art
downloader thing.

When will you support cover art from itunes?

That's the only thing lacking for me with my TP.

iTunes makes it hard to do this, and I'm not sure anyone has yet
reverse-engineered the mechanism by which iTunes links album art to an
album.
