Since you're taking requests... I posted this higher in the thread. Here it is again.

"Though aTagger finds cover art when it is available for all albums it won't write the image to disc if the album title has an invalid character in it (I've only seen this with a colon ":")"

Can you replace that with a underscore (that's what I replace invalid characters with in filenames). I'm sure this needs to be done for all invalid characters like ?/;:\ etc. Thanks.

Hi Alan,

I know this has been mentioned before, but just in case you missed it...

There is a problem when you edit the information found by aTagger before applying it. aTagger updates the first track with the changed information, but all the remaining tracks on the album get the original "found" information.

Welcome back @l@n !

@l@n · « **Reply #53 on:** August 01, 2004, 09:20:55 pm »

Just a quick status update...

I've been finding it difficult to spend much time updating aTagger but I have been making good progress. I havent added any new features yet, but I'm about 80% complete with the updates to use the new data source.

I hope to have a release this week, or next weekend at the latest.

Later... @l@n

Ok .. I just went into aTagger today .. and I'm caught up now .. I now know its broken

Looks like we havent heard from you in 10 days ... any update on getting this workin' again ?

@l@n · « **Reply #57 on:** August 12, 2004, 02:39:45 pm »

I'm getting really close to delivering a new version of aTagger. There have been a couple of distractions that I hadn't planned for (the release of Doom 3

and the bad weather/hurricane that is headed for us in Florida

).

I hope to publish an update this weekend.

Sorry for the delay... @l@n

LonWar · « **Reply #58 on:** August 12, 2004, 04:08:02 pm »

So, How is Doom3??

I love it!!! Honestly, I'm more of a Half-Life fan (with fingers crossed that HL2 will be out in the next couple of months) but the Doom 3 visuals are awesome. I had an older ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder that wasnt near enough card for the game. I upgraded to one of the new ATI 9800 Pro All-In-Wonder video cards and all is well.

I'm soooooooo sorry that I haven't published the new version of aTagger yet. It is working fairly well but with a couple of minor bugs. The bigest problem that I'm having is these darned hurricanes.

I live in South Florida and the hurricanes are really wasting my time. In addition to losing my back yard fence and a few neighborhood trees, I've not had cable TV or Internet access for over 7 days. Thank God I do have power and more importantly AC!!! Hopefully the cable/Internet will start working again soon so I can get back to testing/debugging aTagger.

I shouldn't need more than one good evening of testing to finish up, I just don't know when that will be.

Sorry for the continued delays... @l@n

Nice to hear from you Alan and that all is well (considering...)

Just take care of your family for now. We can wait, don't worry...

Wish I lived around Florida. Being a contractor, I'd fix your fence myself. That's how much I appreciate aTagger!

Michel.

I *HATE* hurricanes!!! I'm so tired of bringing in all of the stuff from the patio boarding up all doors and windows, losing my internet connection, sleeping poorly, unboarding doors and windows (so I don't feel like I live in a cave), then clearing a path inside my house by putting stuff back out on the patio. I love living in South Florida... but enough is enough!!!

Thank God the 3 hurricanes have all gone just north of me (not causing any serious damage – worst part has been lengthy cable/Internet outages).

Wow, I feel better now that I got all of that off my chest.

I PROMISE that I'll try to release the latest version of aTagger TONIGHT (assuming that I have power and an Internet connection when I get home).

A couple of questions for you guys... There have been several requests for an option to specify the location of images. Do you want a single directory or an option to store the images inside the directory of the song, or both? Also, are there any "standards" for the naming of the image files (e.g., storing one image file for an entire album). Since I store the images within my MP3 files, everything works fine for me. I need to understand exactly what will work for everyone.

Keep your fingers crossed... @l@n

Cocophone · « **Reply #72 on:** September 27, 2004, 01:47:48 pm »

I have all my cover art in its own directory "cover art" that is in the same parent directory as my music.

That way I just sync the parent directory for backing up my music to another computer on the network.

So I would like to be able to select the directory to store images.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply and I am very glad to hear you are alright.

Cover Art
I never embed cover in the music. (I don't need bloated music files etc)

I do use the format Artist - Album for jpegs as I have found some advantages with raw sorting for other apps. Dir tree is as expected, Root\artist\album

I never use cover.jpg, folder.jpg, etc. I simply feel this is a problem just hating to happen!

Thanks Charles

gbdesai · « **Reply #75 on:** September 27, 2004, 04:23:44 pm »

I do the same as Cocophone.

no hassle - just release it when everything's settled

ps. as for cover art i dont care as long as mc recognises where it is

I keep all of my art in the folders as "Folder.jpg"

Sauzee · « **Reply #79 on:** September 28, 2004, 03:18:11 am »

I keep cover art inside the tag/

conrelma · « **Reply #80 on:** September 28, 2004, 04:01:38 am »

I also save the cover art inside the mp3. Mainly for compatability between music players and especially for compatability with my htpc software. If you save the cover art in some directory you always have issues to make sure that programs pick the correct image.

@l@n · « **Reply #81 on:** September 29, 2004, 12:21:17 am »

I've worked on aTagger from 8:00pm until 1:00am the last two nights. I've done a lot of testing and I think I've beat out most of the serious bugs. I've got just a couple more loose ends to wrap up (real minor stuff) then I'll package it up and let you guys have it.

I hope to get it packaged up tomorrow night but I might not be able to as I go to a Bible study every Wednesday evening and sometimes I get home late.

I'm trying my best to get it out... REALLY!!!

Goodnight... @l@n

I store all my coverart as folder.jpg files within each Album directory.

For example:

Music
+-- Rush
| +-- 2112
| | +-- folder.jpg
| | +-- [01] Rush - 2112.mp3
: : :

-John

^^^ Same here + Then I store cover arts inside the tags as well.

Safer this way.

But like others have said, don't make too big of a deal out of it for now

Thanks for the great work and as you can tell, you have a huge group of fans on these boards... Eheheh

Can't wait to try it.

It mentions on the website that atagger uses the style info from amg for the artist data. Is it the overall artist data or does it vary for each album as amg shows different styles for each album but same artist?

gbdesai · « **Reply #86 on:** September 29, 2004, 11:35:48 pm »

I believe it does both Artist Styles and also Album Styles, the best of both worlds!

Hi @l@n. Great work on the new version. One initial comment. The Review field gets filled with the review but it's truncated and ends with "Read More..."

Thanks for all your work. Looks great.
