Re: [slim] iTunes album art in SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 missing
Michael, After I installed iTunesupdate everything has been working fine. That's why I haven't uploaded the log file. Don't want to start a complete rescan now that everything works fine.

Re: [slim] iTunes album art in SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 missing
Hi again, I'm sorry, but I am not quite sure about the iTunesUpdater plugin. I think I used that in my previous setup, but I have not activated that for my new setup. Will that take care of the art? The funny thing is that SqC 7 in fact finds the art if I open the albun info in SqC. But not until the album has been "opened" individually. My setup is SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 (build from yesterday) running on a Dell laptop with Core Duo something (?) on Windows XP Home. The music library is placed on a 300 GB external Maxtor USB harddisk and managed by iTunes (latest version). I use the SqB Duet for playing on my stereo. As soon as the cover art is "discovered" by Squeezecenter it also appears on the Controller. I have set up SqC to use iTunes .xml library file for accessing the music library. Does this information help?

Re: [slim] iTunes Album Art in SqueezeCenter
I don't know whether SC7 picks up embedded artwork in preference to folder.jpg, or vice versa; but in any case your artwork will survive the move from SS 6.5.x to SC7.

Re: [slim] iTunes Album Art in SqueezeCenter
Hello, Concerning albumart in iTunes and Slimserver/Squeezecenter, I would like a simple clarification: On a large musicbase built-up using iTunes, all albumart is embedded in each "song". Slimserver 6.5.5 picks it up; no problem. For part of the musicbase, I have in addition inserted the same albumart into the respective Albumfolder as a jpg picture. I do not know which one Slimserver picks up, but it works also. Now, if I change to SqueezeCenter 7.0 do I have to make any change in my setup to be sure I can (possibly) use the Duet Controller? I am not using iTunes when scanning and I have not checked iTunes in the Slimserver Server "Plugin" section. If any changes would be necessary, given the size of the musicbase, this could potentially represent a lot of tedious work. Would the Duet Controller be "worth it"? Any suggestions/clarifications welcome with thanks and, possibly, relief! -- Scallywagfr78 Scallywagfr78's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5136 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It will even help you get it if it exists on amazon. when considering embedding the AA into the tracks, consider also a backup consequences, size and time to perform.

Re: [slim] iTunes Album Art in SqueezeCenter
I recently went through the pain of getting and applying album art to my entire collection, by grabbing jpg's from a well known online music store. Possibly the most boring repetitive task I've ever done! SC7 now looks great though, and I cant wait to get a Duet to see the benefits of my hard work! I went for the embedding route and like you, was concerned about the file size implication. The average size of a JPG image was around 17k, so over 7000 tracks, it only added 120mb to a 40GB music collection, so I wouldn't be too worried about it. -- guinness guinness's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14824 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iTunes Album Art in SqueezeCenter
I've been looking for something to do this for ages - it will make browsing using squeezecenter so much better. Looking at Doug's scripts http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php Does anyone have a recommendation on whether to use embed artwork or save album art to album folder? I'm thinking that the first will have a bigger impact on filesize. Will Squeezecenter work with the latter script? Also, do either of these have any impact on iTunes/iPod performance with album art - i use my 'server' mac as a media center in the Kitchen and find the iTunes interface/front row pretty good and will keep using it. -- b33k34 b33k34's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10919 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iTunes Album Art in SqueezeCenter
Not wanting to sound like an "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" advert, but if you are using a PC I think you can use the iTunes Update plugin(http://www.jamescraig.co.uk/SlimServer/index.html). This makes slimserver use the iTunes artwork without having to embed it in the files. (You have to set the appropriate option in the Server Settings->Plugins section). I have only tried it in Slimserver 6.5 but I think there is a SqueezeCenter 7 version. -- robroe robroe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] iTunes Album Art in SqueezeCenter
If you're using a Mac, just run the AppleScript in this blog: http://nslog.com/2006/09/24/itunes_artwork_in_id3 It will automatically perform a process of embedding the artwork right into its respective track as I originally documented here: http://twistedmelon.com/blog/sep2006.html Slimcenter (or any version of Slimserver) will then see the artwork because it will appear where it belongs, inside each track. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] iTunes Album Art in SqueezeCenter
I have around 80 GB of albums in iTunes that i am happily playing through my SB3. In anticipation of the Duet i have loaded up SqueezeCenter - which is great. Unfortunately i have the same problem that others have experienced that the iTunes album art is not held in the same directory as the tracks and hence not picked up by SqueezeCenter. Is there a fix that forces SqueezeCenter to look at my iTunes album art or do i have to start from scratch? thanks -- wyrob1 wyrob1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42291 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
