Title: Can MC get Album Art for Audio CDs in Tray?
Post by: Jayhawk on March 21, 2007, 10:01:44 pm

When "Online CD Lookup" is enabled, MC does a great job of getting CD title, artist, track information for CDs being played from the CD tray (not being ripped), but MC does not get the album art.  Is there a way to get MC to fetch album art as well (for visualizations, etc.) without going into the rip process?

i just tried with mc12 and this seems to work a bit:
go to options>file location>track image location and set location rule to 'in specific folder' and choose a path underneath it.
now put a cd in and select all tracks, right click>cover art (was called image in mc 11, if i remember well)>get from internet. i get a message then that it can not update some tags, but the coverart is in the special folder and the next time when putting the album in it picks it up immediatly.

dont know if this works in mc 11 though.
