For the past few months i have been tinkering with Coverart Finder 3, and since i have not receved any bug reports in the last month, her it is.

The installer seems to get stuck in a loop. After it has installed, and you press Finish, the installer runs again. If you cancel at the first screen, after the first install, it works fine.

I just installed it on two computers and it installs without error\problems (both were Windows XP)

Is there any posability (or does it even already do it, and i can't find it),
of Cover Art finder having an option to work like the playing now style plugins
 such that as you play tracks it goes off
and presuming that:
a. The Album has no cover art already
b. An Exact match is found with 95%+ probability that the
correct image is found

Then the image will be written to the library,
no user intervention required...

Because theres alot of lazy users out there
like myself

I tried that, the problem is it ties up MC and may stop the playback of the media file. if there is an error then it makes it worse.

Ah fairplay!
Is that when Grabbing the image or Saving it to the library?
VB6 has a sad lack of threading capabilities.
(I was a huge VB fan till I started using C#).

When the ftp control used by VB (created with C) is used.

the sdk has http download, using that may help not quite sure, but i use my ftp server to get the data and that would not work.

I was hoping for ftp use in the sdk would allow for better plug-ins but there is no ftp support in the sdk

Cool.......... Hey King.... Is it possible to specify the size that it needs retrive? ie 200x200 ?

Thanks,

yes sort of

you have a choice of "Huge", "Large", "Med" And "Small"

when they are uploaded with a file size in bytes the images are also clased by image size and then uploaded to the correct spot.

if you have one or more of the sizes above selected in the program it will look only for the sizes you said starting at largest first.

this works in manual mode and automated mode.

you can also define the size in a slide bar to be more selective

you can also select find on the server first or find on your local drive first if you have find on local drive fist the program will look in three places for the image. if not found it will go ou to the server to find it.

using find on local first may speed up the program since it does not need to download the image. and if your saving to a local file. if your doing many media files on the same album it only needs to go to the server once and get the image if you have it setup this way.

I think i need to update the images of the program because it has changed a bit since i uploaded the images on my site.
