Embedded album art question
« on: January 28, 2014, 10:53:17 am »

Hi, I have all my album cover art imbedded into my FLAC or DSF files. Is there any way to create a smartlist to determine and show album art that is below a certain size like 250k or so? I haven't been able to figure it out.

Another thing about album art - it used to be that holding shift after selecting from links - images that it would bring up a selection list with several options - where did that function go?

thanks

This is a View that you might like:

However, it does require having cover art on disk and imported.

My pscriptor tool's GetCoverArtSize scriplet can calculate and stash the dimensions of embedded cover art in a field for you.

Great, thanks for reporting back.  I presume you used the cover art view method.

Hi, not sure what the cover art view method is??

Why does MC grab the lowest, smallest quality cover art possible most of the time? I'm getting 120x120 for most of the art I want to replace.

Also, about album art - it used to be that holding shift after selecting an image from "links - images"  it would bring up a selection list with several options - like repeat action and then it would save the file automatically - where did that function go? It's a total pain in the butt to have to manually copy/paste.

thanks!!

You can look at the library field Image File.  It will say Inside File when the cover art is embedded.  Still, you may have cover art also stored externally.  See Cover Art.

Maybe MC's cover art tool wants to not grab large resources for those who choose automatic retrieval.
