Viewing embedded cover art thumbnails on MP3 CD's
« on: August 14, 2003, 05:52:54 am »

I have lots of mp3's stored on CD with the cover art stored within the individual mp3.

I would love to be able to view the album thumbnails of all of these CD's, at a glance.  However it appears that I can only do this if I have a CD inserted at the time.  So I can't see the thumnails for my whole collection.

I have the same problem with video file thumbnails of video clips on CD.

Is there a way to cache these thumnails on my HDD?

I discovered a work around for mp3's which involves deleting the embedded image and storing it in the default cover art directory before burning to CD.

But this is a rather long winded process and doesn't help for the many mp3's I have already burned to CD.

Is there a simpler way to cache these thumbnails to my HDD?

Thanks guys

So guys, any ideas?  Perhaps my post wasn't very clear.

Can I see thumnails of video and mp3 file cover art, which are on CD's in my MC library but not currently in my machine, from within MC?

I guess the same question would apply to CD's full of JPEG's, although as these take up less hard disk space it isn't likely that I'd put them on CD.

Any advice would really be appreciated.  Thanks.

Yeah, I have the same problem here.

All my images are on CD's, when a CD is not inserted, I cannot view the thumbnails.


Any ideas ?
