Title: Add Image (to songs id3 tag)
Post by: nila on May 08, 2002, 02:48:57 am
Hiya,
A REALLY nice feature that I wouldn't imagine would be too hard to add but that would save me, and hopefully other users as well, a lot of time would be that when we click on the 'add' button to add an image to the id3 tag of our songs, it opened in the directory where the songs themselves are as I, and I'd imagine most people, save their covers in the same dir as the album.

Doesn't AV use the images mentioned in the id3 tag?
That's why I was asking for the help file - You've built tons of features but I'm not aware of them all or how they work.

Also - if I dont assign the image files to the mp3 will the covers show when I'm playing the song?

Last qu - what parameters can we use for the info for the albums with AV? I tried to do !year! but it didn't work.

Nila,

I was joking in that you should be using AV to play and just shove your album artwork in your album folder or wherever and not bother with tagging again!

I'm doing all this tagging and downloading of covers specifically for AV so I can have covers for all my albums.
Remember you mentioned creating your own function to get album covers - If you do it, lemme know cause it'd save me the hours it's taking me now.
Preferably an automated one that can find covers for all our albums, not just one at a time.

That's at the bottom of the todo list at the moment.

I am fed up with the problems I have with my existing (purchased) scroller control so I am going to write my own then I am going to get this multiple albums with the same name issue sorted.

The next update may not be for a while Next Page

What language you coding it in just out of curiosity.
Maybe when I get some free time after my finals finish I can give you a hand if you need it with some of the work.
