Artist Image (Folder.Jpg) and Artist View??
« on: February 25, 2006, 09:56:38 pm »

Ok I organize all my music with the following folder structure in windows xp.

Genre folder>Artsist folder>Album folder

Within each artist folder is an image of the artists, titled Folder.jpg, so that windows xp recognizes it as a thumbnail image.

Within each album folder is an image of the cover art, titles Folder.jpg for the same reason.



Now within the new Artist view in Media Center, the initial image displayed is usually the first album listed alphebetically for the artist. Is it possible that instead of the first album image being displayed, that it can instead look for and display the artist image. I cant image this being more perfect if it would be possible. heres an example of what i mean:



So now when you place your cursor and select the artist image it will prview/slideshow the album art and when u remove the cursor it will go back to the artist image. If this isnt possible already how hard would it be to code in so it could be an option. currently other media players allow artist image browsing, but none of them have the artist view that j river media center currently has , it would be absolutely perfect in this application.!  :D

That's a really neat view..... I would definitely take the time to do this if MC supported it.
