Title: Cover Art location
Post by: wglong on December 17, 2005, 02:55:12 pm
Sorry, I'm confused ::)

I'd like to understand all this stuff around cover art location.  From what I can see you can...

- Store cover art in one directory
- Store cover art in the directory w/ the mp3s as folder.jpg
- Store cover art in the directory w/ the mp3s and name it something else???
- Store cover art in tag??? (what does this mean)

Did I miss anything?  What are the pro's and con's of each?  I also have a video iPod and have not yet been able to transfer cover art to the device.  When using an iPod do I need to worry about the location of the art?

Thanks for your help!

- Store cover art in one directory

The Option is: "In Specific Folder"

And You Give A Path Like C:\My Cover Art\

All your Art Will Be Stored Here

- Store cover art in the directory w/ the mp3s as folder.jpg

the Option Is "Next To File" Folder.jpg

If Your Media File Is in C:\My Music\Beatles\White Album\Beatles - Help.mp3

Your Art Will Be Saved Next To The File Like

C:\My Music\Beatles\White Album\folder.jpg

- Store cover art in the directory w/ the mp3s and name it something else???

the Option Is "Next To File" [Artist] - [Album].jpg

If Your Media File Is in C:\My Music\Beatles\White Album\Beatles - Help.mp3

Your Art Will Be Saved Next To The File Like

C:\My Music\Beatles\White Album\Beatles - White Album.jpg

- Store cover art in tag??? (what does this mean)

The Option Is

If The Media File Type (Like "MP3") Allows You To Save A Image Inside The Media File It Will. go to www.id3.org for more info on id3 tags

I Thought All Of The Options Were Clear On the Page. This Info Should Be In the Updated Help Files When MC 11.1.xxx Is Completed
