Here's the case 0101 - ... (read it as: cd01 track1) 0102 - ... ... 0201 - ... (cd02 track01) ... 0301 - ... (cd03 track01) With the folder.jpg I just have an album art for the entier folder. I'm interrested to have an album art for each cd. Here's my proposal: 0100-folder.jpg (or anything that could match such as 0100-front.jpg) <= applies for tracks from 0100 to the next folder art encountered 0200-folder.jpg <= applies for tracks from 0200 to next album art 0300-cd.jpg <= applies for tracks from 0200 to next album art

Has anyone yet figured out what picture is displayed there? I failed to find an answer in this thread, the forum or using google. Then a I did a quick test: icon.jpg is not shown. Any clues out there? -------------------- http://freemusi.cc/

It reads embedded art flagged as file icon, see for example FLAC picture metadata, types 1 and 2. -------------------- Full-quoting makes you scroll past the same junk over and over.

Seems logic, now that you're stating it. Thanks for the quick response! -------------------- http://freemusi.cc/

Is there any progress? Is it hard to implement or is it the fact that you are unsure if you want to implement it at all? As an perfectionist when it comes to my music I need this feature to feel foobar is complete.

Please reconsider (again?) to use all files names that end like cover. front. (folder.* would be okay I guess) back. etc. If multiple exist, just take the first one that matches. This would be simpler than user configurable options and doesn't really break existing behaviour. This post has been edited by GeSomeone: Apr 11 2009, 15:59

"Auto Image" option - where the various image types have a configurable priority. For example if I have don't have a Cover image but do have an Artist or Disc image, Foobar2000 automatically falls back to one of them. This could include priority of directory or embedded image. Also, another vote for more flexible naming, & a more tentative vote for checking of parent directory - could be good but probably requires flexible naming implemented first. A tentative vote too for Selected vs. Now Playing, but following a comment somewhere above I'm going to experiment with Cursor Follows Playback. Cheers, & thanks for considering.

It worked wonders for me and I think the developers time would be better spent refining core functionality than expanding eye candy in ways already provided by 3rd party components. -------------------- http://www.ubuntu.com
