Can someone please give a quick guide to getting Foobar to display album art?

What files do i need?
Where do i get them?
What do i do once i have them?

Thanks.

PS, i had some .7z files, but cant seem to open them. I was told that winrar would oipen them, but it did not work.

(WinXP by the way)

Sorry, can't help with album art in foobar, but here's a link to a free 7z util:

http://www.7-zip.org/

Edit: Recent version of WinRar should be au fait with 7z files...

alternative interface that supports extensions: foo_coloumns_ui
album art extension: foo_uie_albumart

to find them, look at the must know sites threat

extract them to your foobar component folder, to extract 7z files you need 7zip. www.7zip.org

make sure you set coloumns ui in preferences -- display

you should get a playlist sidebar, right-click it and you should see how to add the albumlist panel.

Since we're on the topic, can anyone tell me how to make foo_uie_albumart look for album art in the parent directory of the .mp3 file if there is none in the directory itself. For example with multi disc albums I have a folder for each disc and the album art goes in the album folder so I don't have 2 or more copies, so it's like this:



I guess I just need to add another line to sources under the top line or something kind of like this:

$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.*
$replace(%_CODE TO LOOK IN PARENT DIRECTORY HERE%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.*
-match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*
-components\default.png

??
But I have no idea what to actually put.

Thanks in advance.

".." (two periods) is a standard in Windows/DOS for "the parent directory". (FYI, one period means "the current directory"...and I'm pretty sure the same is true for UNIX, too).

That worked like a charm, thankyou so much.
