Title: Finding/Changing small cover files
Post by: gottwavo on February 06, 2012, 08:56:41 am

Is there a way to list/identify albums with small cover files (let's say anything below 300x300 pixels) in MC 17 and then try to find better images? Or do I have to do this outside by scanning the cover art directory?

Create a smartlist and import:
[Media Type]=[image] [Width]=<=300 [Height]=<300 ~sort=[Name]

Ok, I did that. But this is the image not connected to the mp3 file. I thought it might be possible to find it with the music file and then modify the cover ...

... Mr ChriZ's "script to save cover art size" can import the cover art dimensions to custom "width" and "height" library fields. I have explained how the size can be displayed in a single calculated "kilopixel" field:

The files in this screenshot are audio files.
