Whenever I rip a CD I always do a fresh scan of the cover art. I like to have fairly large (around 940X940 but always less than 1MB file size) cover art since I use Moose (http://www.rusticrhino.com/drlovegrove/) running on my desktop and laptop computers as a front end since Moose offers super quick access to my music library. With Moose you can display the cover art quite large (about a 1/2 of the screen) so large looks great. The larger cover art also looks quite nice on the Touch as well. BTW, I also use dbpoweramp for all my CD ripping and other codec related tasks, such as converting from one format to another. And I use mp3tag as well. However you can set all the various tagging and file naming options from within dbpoweramp so that all you have to do, aside from the occasional tidying up, is add cover art and you ready to go. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82444 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
